Last Night at the Lobster
Stewart O'Nan
popular fiction
pg. 1-29

Manny, the manager at a Red Lobster in somewhere in New England, is working for the last day. The company has decided to shut down his Red Lobster. He spends the book talking about his last and final day at the Red Lobster before he moves on to the Olive Garden across town. He starts his day off by arriving at the Red Lobster nice and early, aware that this is the last time he will do so. He's sad about it, but realizes he can't do anything about it. He goes through his morning checklist to make sure everything is all see up while he waits for his very few staff members left to come in. Meanwhile, outside there is a major blizzard, decreasing their odds of customers on their final day. One by one, his staff slowly arrives, most arriving late. Once everything is ready and prepared, the Red Lobster opens for its final day.

So far, I'm not a fan of this book. It's kind of boring. But yet it's kind of vulgar. There's lots of swearing throughout when the workers get mad at one another. When Manny arrives at work early in the morning he is smoking weed, something I'm not a fan of. The book has a somewhat decent storyline so far, I'd day. I think it just needs more drama. It's not really my type of book. But hey, I'm giving it a try!
