Review of Working At The Warehouse
[Following is a volunteer review of "Working At The Warehouse" by Jerry A. Greenberg.]
Working At The Warehouse written by Jerry A.Greenberg.
Lew Thompson is a widower working for the Righteous Distribution For The Salvation Tool, short for RDST, as the warehouse manager. The warehouse is owned by The Mighty Dollar Foundation, the economy's biggest religious cartel. Supplying and distributing all sorts of religious tools used in today's modern world religions; from prayer mats, to tickets to heaven, to prayer books, to holy ashes etc. Whatever you need the warehouse got it. Lew Thompson wasn't bothered by nature of the warehouse' business as long as he was getting his paycheck every month. And he never anticipated a day would come when he would have to straighten his priorities and make clear his loyalties, a day that would change his life as he knows it and threatens it all at the same time. That day began with his warehouse receiving a shipment he never ordered.
Things start cooking as Lee's day becomes eventful and dish him surprise after surprise. The known before as "the man with a plan", always in control and bold was now the most confused and overwhelmed man in the planet, with the biggest assignment of his life. This book is the most unpredictable I've ever read by far. Good unpredictable. You can't tell what's going to happen next even if you guessed. When your heart rate starts normalising after experiencing a palpitation, something else shocks and surprises you. With each page enticing you, making you flip the next one and the next one. And just when you think ah now I can finally see the shape and color of this picture, Jerry A. Greenberg throws yet another bomb leaving you all scrambled all over again, leaving you back where you started.
I found each chapter to be bumpier and more roller coasting, eye-widening and educational and insightful than the previous one. My favourite funniest parts of the book are that of Lew's conversations with the old monkey, more the first one as he was still disassembled. The second one is that of aunt Sally and the teenage boys. As these were my funniest parts, I also have a moving one. When Lew pleaded with Sean. The plea felt real, so real that I felt like I was Sean and that Lew was pleading with me. For a fiction, everything in this book sure feels real. Every time Lew spoke or asked questions or pleaded, I would also pause and ponder. Like in the fairy tale movies, the ending of this book is a happy one. With everyone seemingly starting afresh and exhibiting a resemblance of how we all ought to be like to one another.
The book is professionally edited and well put together with no spelling or grammatical errors, or typos of any sort. The words I can say are wow. What. A. Book. I love it, I enjoyed it and would definitely without a dime of doubt recommend it to anyone. And if you're a fiction loyal fanatic like myself, then you are bound to love this good read titled working at the warehouse by Jerry A. Greenberg.
I would however rate the book three out of four stars. Reason one; I find the nickname thingy to be a bit exaggerated and unnecessary. It makes the author sound like his word-tap wasn't flowing and it almost made this book look like an over stuffed animal toy. The Smile, the Angel and the Angel choir looking- like kid, what was that for? Not to mention the excessiveness of Evangeline's character. Another reason is that the introduction of the book was very poor and the plot wasn't clear. The dawn arrived a bit later after a few pages. This means that a lazy or impatient reader would not have finished the book. But apart from these comments, the book is amazing and a must have and if the these negatives didn't exist the book would have rated four our of four stars, but instead it gets a three out of four stars.
