“I love Coupland sooooooo much. Thank goodness I found him. I just finished The Gum Thief and while I love Coupland and his words, this wasn't my favorite book. Not to say it was bad either, it wasn't at all. It was very sad and real and touching. I love the way he says the things you've always thought, but never shared. And his weird off the wall ideas about life or whatever. I really liked the idea of the book being broken up and being shared by various people, but I think its missing something. Also, Glove Pond had such promise and I don't think it quite ended in a satisfactory way. That said, I still really liked the book and quoted many parts of it. Check it out, its a good read. ”
