A razor-sharp portrait of a morally bankrupt and gleefully wicked modern man, Worst. Person. Ever. is Douglas Coupland's gloriously filthy, side-splittingly funny and unforgettable novel. Meet Raymond Gunt. 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. Gunt is a B-unit cameraman who enters an amusing downward failure spiral that takes him from London to Los Angeles and then on to an obscure island in the Pacific where a major American TV network is shooting a Survivor-style reality show. Even though he really puts the 'anti' in anti-hero, you may find Raymond Gunt an oddly likeable character.
Only 4 stars instead of 5, because, this guy might not be the worst person ever, but he's really not a good guy and how much time do you want to spend around a guy like this?
On the other hand, I read the whole book and lately, I'm stopping a lot after a couple of chapters or even half way and I did want to find out how this story ended.
