 Coupland before he grew up like us and got a proper job June 28, 2000
When I first read Generation X I was 18, living in a small town in the midlands in England. Coupland wrote about the things i cared about which was not much. Everything seemed to be falling away. A whole world order was terraforming in front of us on TV and it was as remote as the remotest remote control. Reading Coupland back then taught me that your generation will be superseded a million times. That nine years on with a haircut and a job you'll say things you'd have hated yourself for. And remember those friends? Where are they now. So it is good, almost as a history now, but he's wrote infinitely better stuff, from the surface of shampoo planet, to the aching brillance of girlfriend in a comma- the themes remain you are destined to become that which you think you will never be
 Thought-provoking and perfect in every way January 16, 2000
Coupland captures wonderfully every cliched portrayal of twentysomethings known to man and exposes them as ridiculous. Clare's wonderful speech about everybody's "gripping stranger", the person we all end up loving, is one of the most inspirational pieces I've read.
OH MY GOD May 26, 1999
Never have I read a book that I could so readily relate to. Captures superbly the general apathy of a generation weaned on a diet of bad television and cool trash icons. If you are aged between 18 and 35, this book should be your Bible.
