Customer Reviews

I love The Office!

First, like others mentioned, there are mistakes in this book and it looks like the printer had some snafus during the printing time but I looked beyond that and I’m rating based on the content. I love The Office so this gives me another look into the characters and I appreciated this book for that reason. It also helps to have as a guide if you’re a writer and need some help navigating your characters personalities and such. It’s a shame there wasn’t a part 2 or a final book with all characters because I’d love to have seen a write up on Ryan for sure. And, what about David Wallace when he totally flipped from big boss to working on Suck-It?! I could be here all day, but I digress.
