The blog-as-novel concept is one that's tricky to pull off because, well, they are two different forms. But Blachman - who caused a stir when the anonymous blog he created was outed - succeeds because he uses blog entries to move the story along and build to all sorts of little, then bigger conflicts, and totally won me over. It's almost as good as one of my all time favorite electronic epistolary novels, Matt Beaumont's E, and you'll never view billable hours quite the same way again...
