Summary: It's a yuppie world
Review: To sell advertising space is the hardest job in the trade. How you do it, how to survive and how to have success and what happens , when you are unable to meet targets. - Douglas Kennedy tells it all.
And he knows what he is talking about. Forget about the weekend, forget about eating and forget about your dates, this novel will steal your time.
At first, it's hard to get used to the language Douglas Kennedy chose for this book. But it's a yuppie world and so is the writing. ...
Well earned four stars.

Summary: Reminded me of The Firm.
Review: You will like the protagonist of this novel, Ned Allen. He is a believable character. Ned starts off as a salesman that can close deals. but then he has trouble with job and family because he has ethics and sticks to them. Which makes him ready to accept a "Too good to be true" job from an old buddy. Our hero forgets that if it is too good to be true.... Ned gets trapped in the dealings of his buddy in real estate and there seems to be no way out. We watch Ned extricate himself from one impossible situation after another. The author has done his homework. For he is very accurate on his details on even flight schedules and gates. (It is as if American Airlines hired him to advertise). You will not want to put the book down. Should take you two days or less. The ending should have been written better...but still an enjoyable read.
