this was, unfortunately, not very good. i read the synopsis on netgalley and thought it sounded like a really interesting premise for a storyline, kind of like hbo’s industry meets a little life meets the secret history. the problem, at least to me, was the writing style. there were so many adjectives and unhelpful (and fairly unimaginative) descriptors plopped into sentence after sentence after sentence to the point where whole passages were bogged down in words that dod nothing. maybe this works for some people but it didn’t work for me.

i looked into the author just a bit and this work seems to be a labor of love that uses his own background in corporate america. i applaud the book as an accomplishment but won’t be leaving an amazon/goodreads review given this wasn’t for me.
