Review of A Place Under the Sun
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Place Under the Sun" by Luis Urtueta.]
This captivating thriller revolves around an introverted individual who is compelled to assert himself within the corporate realm. To retain his job at Anthony Freckleman Company, Henry must deviate from his introverted tendencies and face most of his weaknesses. His superiors, coworkers, and clients constantly challenge him, exacerbating his anxiety and causing him to exhibit clumsiness. Additionally, even C.G. Jung's inspired theses seem to conspire against him. Will he survive in this fiercely competitive world?
Henry joins Santiago's team in Riyadh to offer quality control services to their client, the RCC Company. Henry, in particular, faces multiple challenges. Firstly, he must contend with Santiago's metaphor. Additionally, he must navigate their client's strict demands and resistance. In his quest to prove his competence, Henry takes it upon himself to convince their host, Abduljabbar, to provide him with something that will aid in resolving RCC's quality control issues. A confrontation ensues between Henry and Abduljabbar, further escalating tension as Henry's job security hangs in the balance.
Henry is faced with the task of saving his job and his romantic affair. With the fear of losing both, Henry leaves for Paris to search for two people: Teresa and Bernard. While his affair with Teresa seems complicated, the sight of Bernard gives him hope, making him excited and optimistic. However, Bernard turns out to be different from what Henry expected, with his own opinions, plans, and desires. Despite this, he manages to involve Henry in his schemes, creating an adrenaline-fueling scene that will leave you on the edge of your seat, eagerly anticipating what happens next.
There are several positive aspects to this book. Firstly, the author's storytelling ability is exceptional, enabling the reader to seamlessly follow the story. Secondly, by reading this book, one gains valuable insights into the intricate lives of introverts. Lastly, the inclusion of information about personality types, inspired by C.G. Jung, is highly insightful.
The editing team did a great job, as I did not encounter any errors while reading. There is nothing I dislike about this book; therefore, I cannot lower its rating. I hereby rate this book five out of five stars because of the above-mentioned positives. I recommend it to lovers of thrillers and those in the corporate field.
