Syrup: A Novel (movie tie-in) | Max Barry
11 posts | 14 read | 12 to read
Now a major motion picture starring Amber Heard, Shiloh Fernandez, Kellan Lutz, and Brittany Snow Scat (formerly known as Michael Holloway) is young, underemployed, and trying to make it in Los Angeles. When he comes up with the idea for the hottest new soda ever, hes sure hell become the next overnight sensation, maybe even retire early. But in the treacherous waters of corporate America there are no sure things and Scat finds that he has to fight to save his idea if his yet-to-be-realized career will ever get off the ground. With the help of a scarily gorgeous and brilliant marketing director named 6, he sets out on a mission to grab hold the fame and fortune that, time and again, elude him. This sharp-witted novel is a scathingly funny satire of celebrity, the pop culture machine, and the length to which a guy will go to get aheadand get a date while doing it.

I'm behind again. 😕

I've read several Max Barry books, including this one, and I've enjoyed them all.

Bokmail!! Can‘t wait to start this one. Since I found Max Barry‘s “Lexicon”, I‘ve read and listened to as much of his stuff as I can. This one is up next🤘🏼

Grise I read Syrup, Jennifer Government, and Company, and loved them all. After Company I seem to have lost touch with the author, though. 6y
The.Intentional.Reader @Grise you have to read Lexicon. On of the best books I‘ve ever read and it‘s such a cool idea/plot 6y

No I have not #SoldMySoul but I decided the other day I needed to get rid of 10 books. Small amount really but I can be a book hoarder so it feels as if I sold a part of my soul at least.😂 Ones i would not reread or didn‘t like enough to keep.
Wish I had a little free library close by to put them in.

Ash.on.the.line @DivineDiana I‘m not sure! I‘ll have to ask. Good idea though!! 6y
Cinfhen It‘s never easy parting with books, but sharing them with the universe is a pretty awesome feeling! 6y
CouronneDhiver I agree @Cinfhen ... it‘s a nice way to share a little joy 6y

I‘m planning on saying goodbye #👋🏼 to a few books I‘ve read and really feel no connection to anymore. This may not be all of them but a few.

Reviewsbylola I get rid of probably 90% of the books I read. Gotta make room for more! 6y
Ash.on.the.line @Reviewsbylola that‘s great! I have some that I love but I‘ve realized a lot are just sitting so it‘s time to get rid of them. 😊 someone else could enjoy them! 6y

Between a pan & so so. This is very generic & characters a little flat. It‘s almost as if someone had a lot of knowledge about marketing and made a story around it. A story of ups & downs (& downs & downs) of a marketer trying to make it big.

The part that annoyed me the most was that the girl claimed very adamantly that she was a lesbian, yet somehow she ends up with the male main character, with no explanation about it. 🙄

Well I didn‘t look last night for a book for #6 because I thought I didn‘t have a good one.
I take a quick reading break to start a new book and whooo hoooo!🎉 it‘s the girls name.

A couple 🙄🙄 with this book but I‘m still curious about the story.

BibliophileMomma Ok someone has got to tell me how to get Bitmojis on the pics. 😔 6y
Ash.on.the.line @Tiffy_Reads I just take the picture with Snapchat and then hit the stickers button on Snapchat. It has regular emojis and your bitmoji doing various poses! Then you just hit the save button on the bottom of the screen. I hope that all made sense lol! 6y
BibliophileMomma @Ash.on.the.line Yes it does! Thanks! 6y

I've decided to give this a go 🍹

LeanneAslin Is this the same author who wrote Jennifer Government? 7y
LeanneAslin I didn't know he'd written anything else, I'd be curious to know what it's like, I quite enjoyed Jennifer Government, even though it's not my usual taste. 7y
LisaJo I very much enjoyed his book Lexicon. It was in a quarterly box from @bookriot . Please let us know how this one is. 7y
MMFinck The cover is startling and compelling. It seems to have nothing to do with the story as described though which is odd and disappointing. Maybe it's the description that's off though because the movie-cover features the woman too. Scat is a small square. 7y
