This book wasn't too bad. The idea for the book was original and interesting and grabbed me from the beginning. I actually enjoyed the humor and the antics of Flip- the department to department mail runner who always seems to find some way to mess up something or other. It was actually because of Flip that Sandra Foster(the main character) meets Bennett O'Reilly. He works in the bio section of the company they both work for, and if Flip hadn't delivered a package to the wrong department, Sandra wouldn't have had to meander her way down there. Sandra's job of studying fads and trying to discover why they begin, what causes them to start, why do they end, etc. is what made me pick up the book in the first place. Some of my favorite parts of the book are where at the beginning of each chapter a different trend from history is described and talked about. I learned quite a bit about some fads in human history that I had no idea about. I thought that was pretty cool. There are definitely some funny parts too. Sandra and Bennett actually end up working together using sheep to study chaos theory and the "herd mentality" that takes place in human behavior and helps to shape and develop fads. I'm not going to give away what they find, but overall, it was an interesting read in my opinion.
