5.0 out of 5 stars
Masterful Satire!
"Starbucks Nation" is a fresh and highly creative first novel from Chris Ver Wiel. His approach is biting, astute, observant and, above all, absolutely hilarious. This novel exposes the mentality of a shallow, celebrity obsessed society while simultaneously taking you on one heck of a ride. Extremely enjoyable read.

Have read first 60 pages, not laughing yet?
The book just seems so bitter and cynical - I don't really see the humor. I appreciate social commentary, and satire (Vonnegut fan, for instance), but reading this book I just feel like I'm listening to a lonely, unhappy person's negative rants.

Hate Starbucks, but LOVE Starbucks Nation,
This review is from: Starbucks Nation: A Novel (Hardcover)
I really did enjoy this book. I love the way the author pokes fun at the LA "hip-whazee" and entertainment crowd. I only gave it four stars because I got through it too quickly...I wanted more!

Insightful, funny, wacked. Nails morning shows, Hollywood, 'celebrity', dumbing down of America, lack of attention span, the herd mentality....but all swallowed with a little dose of hope, and absolute humor. Great read, quick read, fun read. Our here reminds me of great lost souls from 1930s darker comedies. A must.
