Joe Hutsko's,The Deal, is a great book from the time you start reading the inside cover at the book store till the last page when you finish the book. The Deal is very Seinfeld-esque. Each character in the book is well defined and their stories are visited similar to the Seinfeld characters throughout the show. Joe perfectly brings all the characters together to a great finish. Just like Jason (other reviewer) and others say.....when is the movie coming out on this one? I can see Glenn Close playing Greta. Who would you cast in the other roles????

Joe Hutsko recreates the real life power struggle of Apple's executives' officers in his latest book, The Deal. It is hard not to have Steve Jobs, John Scully, Apple, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, and the Wintel alliance in mind as you are reading this novel. Nevertheless, it is a very entertaining piece of reading. It surely beats any chessy soap opera shows on TV with its additional insider knowledge of the workings of Sillicon Valley's technology corporations. Many events in the story happen because of chance and coincidence, the typical elements in a conventional fiction plot. But if you are just looking for a time out and fun, this is it!

The new author, Joe Hutsko, has written a very good first book. I would suspect he has a future in this business. The story line is that of 2 men who deal with thei abilities, demons and ambition.All of these human dilemmas focus around a computer company and the men and women who guide them. The love interests are nicely woven into the main plot and are central, not peripheral to it.All in all, an entertaining and well-written book.

I hope they make a movie. I really had fun with this book

This is a great read with a bang up ending.Joe Hutsko is the ultimate insider and takes you along for a non-stop ride.I will be waiting for the next book from this guy, he is GOOD!!!

Great "I wish I was a mouse" review of the Silicon Valley Upstart, Apple. Absolutely entertaining to read, but forget your chores, work, sleep, etc. You won't put it down. This will definitely be a best seller.

I found this insider look at the soap-opera like actions of the corporate world to be an excellent read. I have often imagined it to be exactly as described and this only tends to confirm that thought!

I could not put this book down! Excellent reading - cannot wait for the movie!

Within minutes of opening the first page, I was caught into a quick high paced journey. Reading was simple with an effective flow. I was rapidly caught into a world of intertwining high-tech work, matching and parrallelling much of what occurs daily in that industry. I fell in love with each one of the character devlopments. After reading this book I was once again inspired to return to work and continue with the politics of the high-tech industry!

What an overhyped dog biscuit. Poor writing, mediocre storyline, and filled with the author's twisted personal views which are of very little value. You've been warned!
