Your review is amazing and this book's plot is quite unique. A financial thriller centered around the newspaper industry sounds like a must read for me. Good job.

I have always wondered how the journalist world looks like. There aren't a lot of movies or books on this topic. Great review.

I do not seem interested in this book. However, the book looks quite engaging as it features financial thriller. I would also love to know more on Maxim's story. Nice review. Congrats on winning BOTD.

The book is talking about finances which is thrilling as least for me. It talks about issues of life that we can attest to

This seems like there are a lot of characters and many protagonists. I also hope that the women were more strong than what they are portrayed to be. Thank you for your review!

The wordplay with Maxim's last name is clever. I get your point about women, but I don't know if maybe it's a cultural thing. Or a time period thing? Often when we go a little back in time, we find these sorts of characters, and it might bother us, but I guess it's congruent.
It looks like a page-turner nonetheless.
Great review!

More emphasis on the state of women in the book, I'd be safe to say I expect if there will be a form of difference to the tale of women as seen in the book

This is an interesting fictional book highlighting the paneled boardrooms and lavish penthouses of the New York elite and shows us their lifestyle, their desires and their foibles. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has a well-written OnlineBookClub review.

In my previous life, I was an accountant, auditor and bank executive. This book, thus, excites me no end. I am ecstatic that it is free. I can't wait to meet Maxim and Bob and those weak women, bless them!

A financial thriller that offers a vitriolic depiction of a world full of corrupted people ready to sell themselves and their mothers to make a buck. This seems realistic, also considering the author's background. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

I don't much care for financial thrillers, but this sounds intriguing to an extent. If I could bypass the book's first half and get straight to the action, I would consider reading this one! But for now, I think I will pass. Thanks for another excellent review!
