Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Funny
Meet Chase, who's hired to work as a digital banker at DelStar Bank. The reader embarks on a journey with Chase as she recalls the zany craziness behind the walls of a call center. We follow her during her short employment as she's being trained on computers using DOS and it's the 21st century; working with supervisors "soops" who don't know anything and constantly watching their time away from the desk; and her untimely exit.

There were moments in the book I could relate, such as the infamous break room and the white microwave with the dial timer. The book is fast-paced and the author writes using madcap fonts. HANDLE TIME is hilarious!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must-read for lovers of office fiction
HANDLE TiME Once in awhile, you come by a book which at first glance, seems like something you would breeze right past at the bookstore. But upon closer inspection, you learn that the book is a triumph of imagination, wit and word. HANDLE TiME is such a book. IT IS A FEATURE FILM WAITING TO HAPPEN.

Told in a post modern style of undulating fonts and crack expressionism, HANDLE TiME lets us explore the world of Chase; a girl who works as a Digital Banker for a large, American bank (how ironic that the name of the main character is CHASE... hmmm... ). We follow Chase as she reminisces about the abject insanity she witnessed within the walls of the Bank's regional Call Center while applying for, training, working and finally, leaving the job.

HANDLE TiME combines crisp pace with even crisper satire, solid storyline, side-splitting humor with PARENTAL ADVISORY; and mixes them together for an altogether fresh look at America's headset-heaving, working class. I was loathe to put the book down -- even after finishing it. I simply wanted more.

I recommend HANDLE TiME to any adult who has been jaded about their recent fiction reads; or who needs a good laugh to help them through the employment angst of today's 'Great Recession'.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A novel delving into the weird world of call centers
While some people would say talking on a phone all day would be their dream job, they don't imagine the reality of it. "Handle Time" is a novel delving into the weird world of call centers. Told in a unique manner designed for nonstop humor and to keep readers reading in a fast paced tale of the everyday grind, Park brings another tale into the genre she calls 'office-lit'. "Handle Time" is a humorous exploration of the people Americans grow to hate but still exist.
