Worst. Person. Ever.

By Douglas Coupland

Book Overview

Raymond Gunt likes to think of himself as a pretty decent guy--he believes in helping his fellow man and all that other good stuff. Sure, he can be foulmouthed, occasionally misogynistic, and just generally rub people the wrong way--through no fault of his own So with all the positive energy he's creating, it's a little perplexing to consider the recent downward spiral his life has taken.... An unemployed B-unit cameraman, Gunt accepts his ex-wife's offer to shoot a Survivor- style reality show on an obscure island in the Pacific. Somehow, Gunt suffers multiple comas and unjust imprisonment, and is forced to reenact the "Angry Dance" from the movie Billy Elliott , among other tribulations and humiliations. Could the universe be trying to tell him something?

This is, hands down, the funniest book I've read in a really long time. The main character/narrator truly lives up to the book's title, yet he's extremely likeable. The author also includes some hysterical breaking-the-fourth-wall explanations of his references, a la The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you enjoy sick, twisted humor, this is a must-read.
