This was interesting. It's a memoir about working at an Amazon fulfillment center, told in the second person. I thought the style was unique and worked well (but I wouldn't have wanted to read it for the length of a longer book). I appreciate the voice and the observations she made throughout. The story itself is super depressing - though I'm sure a lot of us who have worked menial jobs can relate (even if the corporate mechanisms were not to the same scale as the Amazon fulfillment center). There's a lot to think about regarding capitalism. I don't use Amazon.com, but it makes me feel bad that I buy anything at all that has anything to do with any large company! But I also felt a little weird about reading it, since the whole premise is that she is just a temporary seasonal associate. She doesn't have to keep working this job, and she has an end date in sight.
