Hamper uses his sarcastic humor to talk about his life as an assembly worker for a car company in Michigan. As a friend of Michael Moore, the expected social commentary is interjected throughout. A funny and enlightening read. Appropriate for college aged and beyond. ( )

A childhood self-actualization downer early on. Then 100% hilarious. Hamper's efforts to avoid assembly line work are legendary. Had these efforts been directed elsewhere, he would have landed the GM CEO job. You'll laugh at the "Quality Cat" mascot and "Riveting is Fun" signs because companies are still doing that stuff today. Hamper is the guy describing his nervous breakdown, in Michael Moore's movie ROGER AND ME. ( )

Very interesting book about life as a blue collar working. Chronicle of the last great time to work for the auto industry. Interesting writer. Very funny at times. ( )

Found this hilarious, bitter, enthralling screed abuot work after receiving a photocopied excerpt from "Harper's" in my Spectrum (senior year english/religion) class at Cretin-Derham Hall. Hi, Mr. Peick & Mr., uh, Mr. Skinny Religion teacher! ( )
