5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent wicked satire of the advertising industry., September 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Ferman's Devils (Paperback)
Faust's Huxley-ish "Pembroke Hall" series (Brave New Advertising Industry?) is chockful of wicked satire and hilarious sendups of the PR field. The author's "day job" in that environment allows him cutting insight into his characters and their motivations as they pursue their "daily Jones" of success and $$. I very much recommend this novel and the continuation: "Boddekker's Demons".

2.0 out of 5 stars
A mildly amusing but unremarkable satire., January 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ferman's Devils (Paperback)
I was disappointed. I was hoping for a harder hitting futuristic satire; what I got was a lightweight story with mostly uninteresting characters. Perhaps if you are really into advertising and marketing the novel is worthwhile. For the average casual reader I would say skip this one.

Great book!, October 19, 1997
This review is from: Ferman's Devils (Paperback)
This is one of the more original and enjoyable stories that I have read in a while. As long as Faust keeps writing, I'm hooked!
