So Say the Waiters

review 1: Henry was a different kind of character than I usually read. He wasn't kick-butt or even mentally resilient. He was a computer programmer dealing with the emotional (and financial) aftermath of a bad breakup. I didn't really enjoy him, but I found him interesting, at least.Dani was the exact opposite of Henry - a tattooed twenty-something bartender living on tips and playing keyboard in a little local band. She was exactly the kind of character I would expect to find in this book, only I would have expected her to be a kidnapper.This book did not read like a traditional novel. There was no easily-identified climax or major disasters, and the ending felt more like the end of a chapter than the end of a novel. (It might have been more structured within the individual "episod... morees" - I wasn't paying attention to where one stopped and the next began.) But I enjoyed the story, figuring out the details of kidnApp, and trying to understand how Henry and Dani's plots fit together. Justin Sirois was brilliant at bringing together random plot lines into a great story.The very, very best part about SO SAY THE WAITERS was the idea. An app for people who want to be kidnapped for fun - awesome! "Waiters" who want to be kidnapped can specify how long they want to be taken, how rough their "Taker" can be, even little stuff like if they want a bag over their head or just a blindfold. I want to be kidnapped. And then I want to kidnap people. I don't even know if this would be legal, but it would be fun!
review 2: The concept and story of this book were very interesting and made me want more. I was very turned off by the abrupt cliff hanging ending (as a reviewer on Amazon said, don't start it if you don't want to be almost coerced into buying book 2) and the lack of professional copy editing. "Brake" vs "break" is not one of the most subtle distinctions in the English language but it was one of many incorrect usages that jarred me out of the flow and enjoyment of the book, and makes me unwilling to pay for book 2. less
