Max Barry can’t be classified as a great writer. But he is very entertaining and has unique ideas and subject matter. Should that make him a great writer? Not in the traditional sense, but he is very readable and unique.
That being said, Company is an entertaining book with an interesting plot. The writing isn’t great, but I was engaged throughout. He has found a niche for himself in the literary world and with Company he cements himself there. I would rank it right in the middle of his three books. Above Jennifer Government but below Syrup.
