Incentives,a book by George Franklin is a piece that is highly specialised in the art of humour. The main character being Red Johanson, president of Battle Creek and an economic development official. Characters like Armando Salazar, Rosa Castellano, Jaap VanValkenberg and his wife Berdenna, would make you known to the fact that not every dough taken into the oven of religiousness ends up as an innocent bread.

The major scene starts with Red's encounter with Boone Cartwright, a crafty oil Business man, his overly oblivious assistant, Brooke, Montavious, and Ron, as Red helps them with the perfect place for their investments.Bogey and Skeeter's love for beer lead them to become recruiting agents in Battle Creek, and Armando and Rosa's search for other opportunities through crafty creations brings them all together. Jaap's desire of being in the spotlight as the senator causes him to approve all of Red's bill,and the business proposals by the four individuals and their partners are put in place.

One thing I love about this book is how the author is detailed with every item. From the choice of food, to the type of cars, even the choice of clothes worn by the characters. Everything is well detailed in a way that makes it so relatable.If I were a foodie, if probably relate to this book in the choice of my food combos.

The only issues however, that I do have, is the author's little bit of stereotype to the Muslim religion, and the presence of too many characters in the story. Named Muslim communities were labelled as the course of crisis several times, and I do not think this sits well with everyone. My major issue was having to remember each of the characters and their initial storylines, as this story had so many characters in it, playing different roles.

I commend the efforts of the editing team, as they really did a good job on this work. I did not find any grammar or spelling errors, and so I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend this book to everyone from ages 15 upward, as the vulgar words might not be suitable for younger ones. One thing I can vouch for though, is that the humour embedded in this book is unmatched.
