Summary: THE MAN
Review: Douglas Coupland is my hero. I've read all of his books and have even seen the movie Slacker. Yet this book is his greatest work of all. The way he writes as if you were sitting right next to him just blows my mind away. And his outlooks on things ranging from life to a blender are outragously funny and very true. This book will change your prespectives on everything. And leave your mind on the curb as he drags you thru an outer limit of realistic imagination. It's like a good hit of acid. He's the MAN.

Summary: A mix between GenX and Microserfs
Review: Having read before two superb books from Douglas: Generation X and Microserfs, one finds this book, although as finely written as usual, but a little repetitive on the eternal-Coupland-themes: favorite brands of products (does the guy receive funds from IKEA or Count Chocula?), a little stiff of Japanese culture in the air, and the always present nuclear youth nightmare "three seconds before the Bomb". Well, Doug is an absolute master portraying critical years of our lives, mostly for US and Canada people, but anyway an entirely new book, with fresh ideas, will be truly appreciated, mostly for those who love his writings.

Summary: a simplistic format that challenges the deepest of issues
Review: Coupland did a superb job portraying diverse and personal feelings about life in the most beautiful of ways. He really makes you look at life a second time and say, "I just want to live."

Summary: The Bible of My Life
Review: Douglas, I am in love with your mind. After having read all of Coupland's books to date, LAG keeps echoing in my head like a sweet love gone away. No author has ever managed to tap into the strings of my soul the way Coupland has. My copy is highlighted, underlined, and serves as a reference for when you need something to keep you going. Stories drip from this man's tongue like honey... Never stop, Coupland. Never stop.

Summary: a wood
Review: He is right. Our life is mostly a variable quantity of inresistable and un-doomed happenings. There isn't any other way to look at it without being scared. A book that brings you back to your childhood however with your adult eyeballs. A book that doesn't give you any secure FX, but just an huge amount of solo brainstormig (each one framed at the top of the page). No rules, no linear thoughts, no gOD. Dive into and read it once again.

Summary: One of the most insightful books of our decade.
Review: Coupland really touches a nerve in this book by documenting how our generation sublimates the irrepressible religious impulse in humankind. The stories are heartbreaking and beautiful. I found that my personal narrative was being told in these pages.

Summary: A lasting experience
Review: I carried this book in my rucksack for half a year, re-reading bits of it whenever I had some free time. Somehow, the characters and stories kept having something to say...

Summary: Reflections in paper
Review: I've read this book three times. The second time I read this book was during a stay in Washington. I found an american edition at a second hand bookstore and I started reading on my Metro-ride home. I did so every day and I finished it after two weeks.
Then after two more days I started to read this book again. For me this book has so many different ways to read it, so many ways to find your reflection in it.
This book saved me several times by showing me the diversity of life itself.
The people in Mr. Couplands book are discribed in a way that is nearly more real than reality and you can go to this reality just by opening the cover of "Life After God".

Summary: Been there...
Review: This is a good book in the Coupland ouvre... well worth reading as it includes, like the rest of his writings, poignant insights. He does well to put words to thoughts and feelings that may be difficult for others to do so. It was kind of depressing in some instances, but hey, that's life

Summary: Only out of 10 .... <sigh>
Review: Stepping into Douglas Couplands books is like a journey into my own mind, without the hassle. The way he brings the thoughts and feelings of his characters, and, I suspect, himself, to life is incredable to say the least. I have read this book at least 8 times, and it is a large part of how I look at the world now. The views expressed in the book mimic my own, and many of my friends so closely I could swear Douglas had known me for a lifetime. A truely inspirational book that will change your life, as it did mine
