Title: An Enjoyable, Quick Read (But A Dumb Ending)
Review: I felt Kennedy did a great job of developing the characters. The glimpse into the high-stakes, fast-paced world of advertising, sales, and Manhattan life was very interesting. This is truly "Death of a Salesman" for the 90s. You will breeze through the protagonist's rise and fall; I truly pitied his character, because he could easily be me if I were to make some less than optimal (but not necessarily "bad") decisions. I must agree with many of the other reviews I read here on Amazon: the ending is bad! I had to reread the last chapter just to make sense of this ending, and it is still a stretch. It almost feels as if he was in a rush to finish the book and tried to put together this over-the-top, suspenseful, thriller ending. Problem: it just does not work.
