About this title

Review:

A modern Dickensian fable of pointless toil inside an industrial machine. Too funny not to be accurate, too heartbreaking not to be true. If you're wondering where all the time and money went, this book has the answers "21 Dog Years has the wry sensibility of David Sedaris." "Mike Daisey does for Amazon.com what Michael Moore once did for General Motors." "Wonderful....His often vociferous malice is delicious."
