The characters were more fully formed and the premise more easily digestible than in <em>Company</em>. I'd bet dollars to donuts that you'll like <em>Jennifer Government</em> more than <em>Company</em> by a wide margin.

I had held out on buying Jennifer Government until I read Company, but sounds like you DID like that one... Wow, I totally disagree…I thought it was quite clever and amusing.
