Just finished Then We Came To The End. Excellent novel. Ferris has the rare ability to give everyday actions deep significance. His characters are funny and remind me of so many of my coworkers. He took the story line through similar paces, winding it around random and usual activity. I look forward to reading more of his work. Also it was an inspiration. Working in an office, I can feel the pain of the characters. As they presented in the book, there are ways to survive it and maybe no one ever does. We spend the majority of our time at "work." It's a sad thought.
It served to vocalize the familiar issue of writing. I'm trying to find a niche and do it professionally while supporting my family with this office work. Ferris portrayed this conflict perfectly in his novel. Overall, I recommend it.
