Representaion In Favor Of Books Syrup
When Scat comes up with the idea for the hottest new soda ever, he's sure he'll retire the next rich, savvy marketing success story. But in the treacherous waters of corporate America there are no sure things--and suddenly Scat has to save not only his idea but his yet-to-be-realized career. With the help of the scarily beautiful and brainy 6, he sets out on a mission to reclaim the fame and fortune that, time and again, eludes him. This brilliantly scathing debut is a hilarious send-up of celebrity, sexual politics, corporate America, and the fleeting status that comes with getting to the table first--before the other guy has you for lunch.

Maxx Barry's Syrup is an absolutely HILARIOUS satire about marketing and Corporate America. Barry's first novel is so sarcastic and unique that readers won't help but love it!Scat is a young twenty-something man who develops a new brand of soda called Fukk. While preparing to have it officially branded and presented to a massive corporation leading in soda products, his roommate Sneaky Pete steals his invention and tries to pass it off as his own.Coming to Scat's rescue to help him undermine theI finally got around to reading this and I was not disappointed one bit! I loved every word in this book and the characters were hilarious, a bit ridiculous but still relatable. I laughed out loud but actually took on board (weirdly) some of the marketing advice. Loved the way it was set out (chapters within chapters) and the side notes "mktg: case study" were brilliant and an excellent addition. I actually can't think of any negatives. Feel really good after reading it, really easy read and I
Fun romp through marketing as the basis for society and the application of perception control. What marred this a bit was selective idiocy in how the characters approached their work -- they often made nonsensical choices in how they approached their business issues that extended the story but felt overly reaching. And you already are stretching things given the very odd, yet funny, character names. Barry hits a lot of topics that would make great TED talks - the role of marketing in art (and
This was the first ever Max Barry book I picked up, was a random choice at a bookstore one afternoon a few years back. Boy, am I glad I did! He's fast become one of my newer favourite authors and this I still feel is his best book that I've read to date. It's quirky, fast-paced and very amusing in parts. Perhaps not particularly believable at times but hey, books are escapism, are they not? The main characters can be a touch irritating at times but dammit, you're still rooting for them the whole
Syrup is another extremely quick read and a fabulous first book by Maxx Barry. He reverted to using Max as his first name for this other two books: Jennifer Government and Company. This book covers the story of Scat, a marketing graduate living in LA who believes in finding a million dollar idea, and 6, the woman of his dreams, and at times, nightmares. The novel propels you through the advertising and marketing hallways of Coca-Cola LA, Hollywood movies, and young people looking to make it big,
Syrup is the story of Scat, a recent marketing graduate, and his introduction into the fast-paced, back-stabbing world of corporate corruption. I mean, marketing. His easy road to world-domination (or, at least, fame and fortune) is blocked by two other marketing graduates: 6, the smart, sexy, and completely ruthless love of Scats life, and Sneaky Pete, a man who is so cool he doesnt even need to speak to be successful.Each chapter of the book is divided into small sections, each with a title
A scathing satire of the marketing and film industry that is more generic and stupid than biting and hilarious.Syrup is the debut novel from Max Barry published in 1999 and made in to a feature movie in 2013. Scat is a young, hip, marketing graduate who has a million dollar idea stolen from him by his best friend, an event which catapults him in to a game of cat and mouse one-upmanship with the help of sexy Coca Cola executive 6. It has been marketed as a brilliant send up of celebrity, sexual
