read the first half, got a bit bored, it's not badly written, he just tends to side track onto boring parts of his life (if you're a struggling artist, you may associate more than i did)
It's okay - I doubt any of us will write anything better - but a bit self-obsessed and buys too easily into the mythos. These are faults that could be aimed at many of us, and one of the reasons that I decided I wouldn't write the definitive courier book just yet... got to get some distance and perspective on it all. Don't go out of your way to find it. Previously discussed here: http://www.movingtargetzine.com/forum/discussion/854/can-you-do-this/#Item_9
Hey Emilia It was more or less readable and I finished it. He did however come across as a massive dick, pretty self grandiose. Sunk to the depths of being a courier, he becomes the best one there is ever, finds himself and then beats the system by becoming something better than a courier etc.. Also there was a the truly memorable line were he tells us couriers can see in to the future ''We like totally predict the traffic man'' or some such nonesense. I think a child can predict the next logical step of any given sequence, oh look there's a car it might hit me.
I did read the book, and I have to say that some of the writing was very good indeed, but a lot of it was tripe. I also found the fact that he devoted an entire chapter to him winning an alleycat pretty... err ... well, it's not something I would do.
