Customer Reviews

Hate Starbucks, but LOVE Starbucks Nation

I really did enjoy this book. I love the way the author pokes fun at the LA "hip-whazee" and entertainment crowd. I only gave it four stars because I got through it too quickly...I wanted more!

Take a chance

funny, Funny, FUNNY! Take a chance on a new voice; read it, you'll laugh - guaranteed.

Masterful Satire!

"Starbucks Nation" is a fresh and highly creative first novel from Chris Ver Wiel. His approach is biting, astute, observant and, above all, absolutely hilarious. This novel exposes the mentality of a shallow, celebrity obsessed society while simultaneously taking you on one heck of a ride. Extremely enjoyable read.

On the Money / Commentary on H'wood, all of us

Insightful, funny, wacked. Nails morning shows, Hollywood, 'celebrity', dumbing down of America, lack of attention span, the herd mentality....but all swallowed with a little dose of hope, and absolute humor. Great read, quick read, fun read. Our here reminds me of great lost souls from 1930s darker comedies. A must.

Yes, thank you!

Brilliant, original and funny! Thank you Chris Ver Wiel for coming up with something telling and far enough out there that those who think there is nothing new, ever, will thank you! I thank you! Way to go to piss off the very people who will review your book too! Love it!
