Sunday, January 4, 2015. You're Doing a Hell of a Job! By Simon Kurt Unsworth. 4 out of 5 angel feathers. I received a free advanced copy of this from NetGalley in exchange for this review.). Most of us like to act like our jobs are hell. But what if your job actually was in Hell? Then bitching about the broken microwave in the break room would seem kind of silly. All in all, this was a clever and unique debut novel that makes me hope we’ll be seeing more from Unsworth. Also posted at Goodreads.
