Download Now Confessions Of A Call Center Gal Crafted By Lisa Lim Accessible Through Paperbound
it's over. But only after the unnecessary wrapup chapter,
This book was the epitome of "telling" rather than showing, It's rare for me to give a book one star, but the writing was that bad, It was like the author went "let me throw in as many popculture references as possible," and then spent the next two paragraphs explaining the jokes and remarks.
She even had a scene on Michigan Ave at Thanksgiving that failed to evoke any emotion, Chicago is an amazing city and after they light Michigan Ave, the area is so vibrant, We were told there were lights but weren't put into the scene at all,
It could have started with "Dear Diary," because it was like reading someone's enhanced journal entries you know, when the bones of the incident are the same but the journaler puts down how they wish they would have handled it rather than the truth.
Not like any other chicklit novels I've read, this book is based on the true life of a call center girl, Yes, Lisa Lim used to work in a call center office, No wonder, the story feels natural, as if I'm reading a diary,
I love Maddy, she's just like me, loves reading and writing, has a dream and a courage to follow it.
Like Maddy, I love to read Agatha Christie, classic books, and, . . Pillars of the Earth! It feels like meeting a friend with the same interests in books,
On top of that, this book has something important to speak loud about, It's about people who work in call center offices, Through this book, we come to understand everything behind the job, It changes my point of view, and certainly changes the way I feel when I talk to call center operators,
Yay good work, Lisa! This was recommended to me on Amazon, I don't know why. Maybe someone told Amazon I work in a call center, Originally I didn't want to read this book because I don't really like chick lit, After some thought I convinced myself to buy it and then it sat on the Kindle for aboutmonths before I finally opened it up.
I am glad I read it, I actually enjoyed it very much so,
I mostly relate to the call center part of the storyline, I work in a call center for social services and where its incoming calls, Alot of the callers/calls Maddy dealt with I had an experience with, so I was laughing about those, I do have some of the same attitudes toward my job, I think this book helped me get through this past week because I feel a little better when I get to laugh.
I thought the romance part was a very girly/high schooler story, but it was cute and I was rooting for Maddy to get with Mika.
I hope they stay together,
I am looking forward to the sequel, This was a very insightful story about a call center and a girl, You sort of get the backstage pass to the other end of the line, I loved it, The book is more focused on the relationship between the heroine and her friend, boss, and coworkers alike, than the typical boy/girl love story, though there is that as well.
It was an easy book yo read, very captivating and wonderfully told, I enjoyed being lost in a different part of the reality i am hardly conscious of,
.stars. Heaven help me this book was awful, I'm officially calling it quitsinto it, Any book that gives the quote "I farted! I tooted! I got electrotootted!" deserves to be shelfed! This was another book reviewed on Big Al's, and it sounded interesting and was inexpensive so I tossed it into my queue.
It's a comingofage tale in a very recent and modern setting, despite the location of Wisconsin, as the main character Maddie and her friends have graduated from college yet cannot find jobs in the economic downturn, so
she and her best friend Kars end up working in a call center for an internet provider.
The author does a good job of portraying the insanity of working in a call center, especially in the wrapup at the end of the book, as well as the friendships that can form in such working conditions.
Some of the interpersonal stuff and side characters are a little stale and could have been improved, and the storyline seems to bog down and wander for a while in the middle.
However, the book picks up steam and optimism and wraps up well, although perhaps a bit too much of a happy ending for some.
This was an enjoyable read especially for the character of Trung and I think it would be good reading for most people, especially if it makes them think twice about being cruel to the customer service representative who answers their next phone call.
Wow. I loved every single freaking thing about this book! I could relate to Maddy like she was an older me, someone who loves Zac Efron because trust me, I LOVE Zac Efron and a night in watching reality tv.
And Bridget Jones being one of my favorite movies, I fell in love with Maddy's Bridgetesque personality, never being able to get things to go exactly her way.
There were parts where I would find myself laughing out loud and other times cheering Maddy on in her trials as a call center gal.
This book is full of hilarious moments in the everyday life at a call center, The workers at the call center are all crazy and lovable in their own way, from a hunky Belgian to a Vietnamese gay best friend.
What I also loved was how nothing ended up happening perfectly, Maddy goes through trials and things take time to happen, just like real life, I just wanted to keep on reading every second so that I could figure out who would call in next to Maddy.
I got this book for review from the author as an ebook, but after reading it I know I'm going to buy the hard copy so I can escape into Maddy's hilariously sweet world whenever I want to.
Confessions of a Call Center Gal is the perfect chitlit to curl up in bed with, Maddy's character is easily relatedble to me because my whole career has been in Call Centers, This book had me laughing out loud which isnt easy to do, The friendship you forge and the respect you gain for people in general is unforgettable when you work in a Call Center and Lisa Lim described it to a T.
Like so many fresh college graduates, Madison Lee is ready to apply her skills at a job, Unfortunately, she doesn't have luck finding a job right away due to the economy, She visits Pocatello, Idaho and accepts a job position at a call center, It is better than unemployment, right
I've never worked in a call center before, though I used to work in retail and customer service.
I've got stories for days, But the stories told by the main character were unbelievably funny and unique, The outrageous calls received at the Lightning Speed call center were hilarious, Maddy's life outside of the call center is just as entertaining, I felt like a call center gal sitting in the next cubicle over, Think Chelsea Handler plus argyle sweater wearing Chuy plus the politically incorrect show The Office plus chick lit, Are you already laughing
Confessions of a Call Center Gal is Lisa Lim's debut novel, I'm already looking forward to her next release, If you like funny chick lit, ever worked in a call center or customer service, or just want to be entertained by reading about a chick's job, then this is a good choice.
