Tout ceci me fait gerber (dsol pour ceux qui me lisent lheure du djeuner).

En effet le titre 99 francs reconverti en 14.99 est prendre au second degr comme tout le propos du livre dailleurs.

Les gens ladmirent parce quil met des putain grosse salope en majuscule dans ses livres, je trouve a dune mdiocrit absolue.

Les gens iront dire quil est contestataire, subversif, et donc courageux et admirable.

Maintenant ne confondons pas les pourritures notoires et leur ersatz mignons.

Et certainement pas aller le voir au cinma ou le louer en dvd et mme pas le tlcharger.

Je les trouve tout deux pleins dinterets et forts dun message montr explicitement.

Just because. Again, maybe its his writing style I also dont particularly enjoy reading the very explicit sexual references and descriptions that pop up throughout the book.

If hes less drunk he may even make sense, but hes still so annoying and yelling so loud that you just turn around and leave for whatever made up reason.

Look, Beigbeder does make sense and I bet in 2000 this book was really fresh and much shocking (although.

Look, Beigbeder does make sense and I bet in 2000 this book was really fresh and much shocking (although Houellebecq did pretty much same thing in 1998 in his The Elementary Particles and did it much much better).

But mr Beigbeder is yelling SO loud So Im leaving.

Because. twerking.

What I said - for whatever reason.

We all have price, all our choices are controlled, advertisement world is fked up, we get it.

But gosh, over 200 pages of self-centered love, describing how cool am I, and how I hate the world I literally live in every day - it is too much.

And towards the end it makes very little sense, though you may try to fish out some very meaningful insights.

The vulgar tone of the author and his constant description of cocaine intake make it hard to absorb any marketing industry facts.

I find it strange and sad that people would look up to the author like Beigbeder for advertisingmarketing insights and are willing to absorb any bs that this author will spoon feed them.

Furthermore, I do not understand why would I use this person as an industry reference when the only thing I know, it that hi.

Furthermore, I do not understand why would I use this person as an industry reference when the only thing I know, it that his life revolves around prostitutes, drugs and alcohol.

But the thing about his books is that all these good writing traits start going down the drain as the book progresses until you end up feeling that the book youre currently reading and the one you started to read have nothing in common.

I had been meaning to read 13.99 euros (or 6 euros or 99 francs or whatever its called, I swear each time I take a look at its cover its titl.

I had been meaning to read 13.99 euros (or 6 euros or 99 francs or whatever its called, I swear each time I take a look at its cover its title has been revamped) for years, specifically since I decided to join the advertising world some years ago.

Octave has it all.

Hes a creative director in an ad agency, earns 13k a month and has golden parachute clause in his contract, but none of that matters to him.

He wants out, hes fed up with the frivolity and consumerism, and so he decides to write exactly this book in the hopes that it gets him fired.

So lets start with the good, shall we In the beginning, I laughed and nodded at the typical corporate situations Octave described, even if its pretty obvious that most of them are exaggerated for comedic purposes: the meetings full of people taking notes to avoid giving their opinion, the last-minute ideas that somehow end up working, throwing shit against the wall and seeing what sticks, the Anglicisms irritatingly included in every sentence in every meeting, the overbearing marketing director who thinks hes saving the world when hes actually selling yoghurt to the masses, etc.

To my knowledge, there are no drugs or prostitutes, but that may be because I dont have a golden parachute clause in my contract and I dont earn 13k a month and I highly doubt anyone currently does.

But the thing about Beigdebers writing style is that it reaches a point when the story starts going downhill and nothing seems to make sense.
