Great satire with great laughs!

A friend recommended this book. Chapter 1 starts off with a story about "dead skin clippers" and credit card collections. From there, we learn about super self-absorbed executives, plastic people and real people, all wrapped with enough laughs to make your stomach muscles hurt. A must read if you work for a bank or any large company. Fans of Office Space, The Office, The Devil Wears Prada and the like will enjoy Plastic Practice.
