Reseña del libro "The Gutter Chronicles, Volume 2: The Continuing Saga of Norman D. Gutter, Engineer (en Inglés)"
Norman D Gutter, now in his second year of his career as a civil engineer, seems to go from one difficult situation to another-except most of it is humorous. Norman tries to find the humor as the company he works with incompetent contractors, and deals with fun-loving, joke-making fellow employees. Splitting time between the office and construction sites, Norman never seems to catch a break as events spin around him. The company he works for, I.C.E. Engineering, is crazy busy, and the things that irked Norman in his first year are still there in his second. There's no time to just sit back enjoy the world of getting things designed and built. Volume 2 picks up where Volume 1 left off. Two small characters, Maggie and Itchy, make a cameo appearance. We'll see other characters who featured prominently in Volume 1, such as Norman's supervisor Ned O. Justice, Uriah Serpe, the ever-flirtatious Malinda Mayes, and, of course, the unforgettable I.C.E. purchasing manager Youkin Stuffet. You'll meet several new characters, such as the attorney Ira Hertzhugh and his junior attorney B. Allen Dumas, landscape architect Sage Mapleton, and the I.C.E. chief financial officer Monty Grubber. I.C.E. is growing, and they shoehorn in a new engineer, but this new guy and Norman lock horns in a game of practical joke one-upmanship. And, Norman continues to dream about Togerther The Great, who goes back in time to solve engineering problems in the ancient world. Come along on Norman's wild adventure in the world of civil engineering.
