**Contains Spoilers, Probably because I can't really tell the difference at the moment**Company was a strange book. Like nothing I would ever usually read, but I think going into this book I was expecting something a little different. Perhaps if I was expecting nothing (which was pretty hard, since ...

I really enjoyed some of the ideas in this book-- particularly the corporate surnames-- but the story was mostly flat and unengaging. None of the characters were particularly interesting or memorable.
