The Office probably shouldn't be a show I read too much into even though I totally still do. I did find myself tearing up a bit during the "Pam's Art Show" essay, but I think that's because that episode is so emotional to me already and talking about it or watching it makes me cry. I docked a star because I don't think I'm the biggest list person, and Serrano definitely is. Jul 25, Andrew Nguyen rated it really liked it.
This collection of essays lands somewhere north of average. On the other end of the spectrum, there are in depth pieces on specific episodes like The Art Show. I think this piece is also really good. I really appreciate when a critic is able to point out subtle things an actress does.
Aug 17, Jackie Mancini rated it really liked it Shelves: non-fiction. I was supposed to be learning about Secured Transactions for the bar exam and instead I spent 2 hours reading this, which I think was honestly the right call. Aug 04, Kevin rated it it was amazing Shelves: non-fic , humor , s , film-tv. Witty, fascinating, strangely prescient. A must-read for fans of the Office. Mar 17, Renz Celeridad rated it it was amazing. When you want to binge-watch The Office and you don't know which episode to choose, open CRFM, and go to a random page number.
Shea Serrano has a knack for retelling stories in a much funnier and more engaging way. This is the second time I've read a Shea Serrano book The first one is Basketball [And Other Things] , and as expected, he was able to think about something in a very different yet so familiar manner. He basically replayed the most memorable moments a When you want to binge-watch The Office and you don't know which episode to choose, open CRFM, and go to a random page number.
He basically replayed the most memorable moments and those moments that you've probably forgotten. The difference though is that Shea didn't just tell the story again. He inserted his witty remarks here and there the same way Michael Scott is able to insert "That's what she said" in the conversation.
He set criteria, which you will probably agree with. He had also a thought exercise where he reimagined The Office characters as characters in a heist movie. There's also a scouting report about the warehouse basketball game, like, how was he able to write 3, words about this scene??? The best essay for me is the one he called the nerdiest in the book. It's the part where he rationalized the office setup of The Office, i. My second favorite essay is his breakdown of Pam's Art Show and how it developed Pam and Michael's personal relationship.
For me, that's just classic Shea Serrano. I keep on binge-watching episodes on YouTube every time Shea says something about a specific The Office moment. He's able to articulate thoughts about The Office you never thought you have.
That's why you should read CRFM. And that's why you should binge-watch The Office again. Aug 10, Cathy O'Neal rated it it was ok. I am a total nerd when it comes to The Office. I've seen the episodes before Steve Carell left the show many. I've seen the later ones also, just not as many times. It just wasn't the same without Michael Scott. I also firmly believe that Steve Carell should really be with me.
Sorry, Nancy Carell. I discovered this ebook by reading an article in Texas Monthly magazine -- the author is a Texan known for previous books about rap and basketball. The minute I read about I am a total nerd when it comes to The Office. The minute I read about it, I knew this collection of essays about The Office was for me. I wanted to adore it as much as I do the show. To laugh out loud.
To reread it. To quote it. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. With the exception of one chapter, the one about Pam's art show, the collection is really not so much a collection of essays, but a collection of comparisons basketball-style comparisons? Oh, and one whole chapter that is the author and his wife having an e-mail exchange about whether Jim Halpert is hot. He is, by the way. Sorry, Laramie, you're wrong. I did chuckle a few times, to be fair. If you are also obsessed with The Office, by all means take a look.
It's a quick read. It can easily be done in one sitting. There's just so much more to be said and much more minutiae to obsess over. There isn't even an essay or examination on "that's what she said. Jul 31, Sara rated it really liked it. I thought Shea Serrano added a lot of great commentary in some places, and then basically just narrated episodes I already had memorized in other sections.
Maybe part of the problem is that I know the show so well, the long recaps were redundant. Overall, though, it was very enjoyable and I would highly recommend it to any fans of The Office.
