4.0 out of 5 stars
An impressive debut,
By Seppo Laine (Pasadena, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acquisition of Power (Paperback)
Erika Barr has written a captivating book on the inner dirtyworkings of large corporations and their mergers. However, even a reader who is not interested in the dealings that go on in the business world will be glued to this book. It puts heavy emphasis on the description of the human characters, their thinking patterns, their needs and their dreams. The story is logical and there is plenty of suspense to keep the reader guessing. Greed is good in this book!

The book is great. If you work in the Corporate world, you know these people! She has the skinny on mergers. I finished at 3:00 a.m.. I couldn't go to sleep without knowing what happened. Great work for a first book. Can't wait for the next one.

A throuroughly enjoyable read. I starting reading and couldn't put it down because I couldn't wait to see what happened to the bad guys (and girls). I hope there's a sequel.
