Opis

Meet Raymond Gunt. Raymond is a decent chap who tries to do the right thing. Or, to put it another way, the worst person ever: a foul-mouthed, misanthropic cameraman, trailing creditors, ex-wives and unhappy homeless people in his wake. Men dislike him, women flee from him. 'Worst. Person. Ever.' is a razor-sharp portrait of a morally bankrupt and gleefully wicked modern man.

Recenzje

An outrageous comic riot, delivered as a tear-inducing funny and pitch-black farce ... For every laugh here, there's a haunting, echoing scream in the distance. The plot is unbridled romp ... It is hard to describe, out of context, quite how funny Coupland's novel can be. Sunday Times
