(They spend their days - and too many of their nights - at work. Away from friends and family, they share a stretch of stained carpet with a group of strangers they call colleagues. There's Chris Yop, clinging to his ergonomic chair; Lynn Mason, the boss, whose breast cancer everyone pretends not to talk about; Carl Garbedian, secretly taking someone else's medication; Marcia Dwyer, whose hair is stuck in the eighties; and Benny, who's just - well, just Benny. Amidst the boredom, redundancies, water cooler moments, meetings, flirtations and pure rage, life is happening, to their great surprise, all around them. "Then We Came to the End" is about sitting all morning next to someone you cross the road to avoid at lunch. It's the story of your life and mine.

Best novel I've read yet this year, slyly building up its characters and subplots with far more grace than most contemporary fiction. It's not the LOL comedy the blurb sells it as but it is witty as hell and 'a good read', full of the pathos, personal politics and sheer nerdiness of modern office life. At this price, give it a go!!
Too Truthfull It Hurts.

Having judged this book by its cover i could tell i would enjoy it. The book i thought was extremely FUNNY, from the first few pages i was absorbed. I myself work in a place not to disimilar from the one this novel is set in as do many, and the truths that this book hits upon were immediately relatable. All the characters are easy to get a handle on and the flow of the novel is fascinating and set to real life flow. This book is an amazing read and i can imagine that i sitcom set to this novel would be hillarious, dont let the first to reviews put you off, BUY THIS BOOK you wont regret it
Total and utter rubbish, not a good read.

A totally boring book which falls far, far below any other of richard and judy's excellent choices that I have read before. The book was billed as funny but I have yet to find the comedy!! What a waste of money.
