A review by davechua
Girlfriend in a Coma by Douglas Coupland

3.0

A rather disappointing work from Coupland. The novel starts off promisingly but diverges into an unexpected route for the last third, and turns into an almost Anthony Robbins like diatribe on what the characters can do to change the world. Reading this bought out another giant flaw in Coupland's books; the sheer emotional lack of the characters. There is no great display of emotion, even at the loss of close ones. It all seems to be boiled down to anecdote, and beautifully placed imagery.
