Their final meeting precipitates an event that no-one saw coming.
My Thoughts:
The author was
kind enough to provide me with an E-copy in exchange for an honest review.
I found this book very enjoyable. It was a very fun and quick read.
After our main
character Dave misses the first job interview, he decides to go to his favorite
pub to have a few beers. That is where he meets Alexandra, they hit it off and
soon Dave knows that she is the love of his life;
unfortunately because of Dave's lack of knowledge in
new technology he loses her number and loses all contact with
her. While all this is happening in Australia, two very powerful American
business men are having a feud over who gets the number one spot in TV
ratings. What Dave doesn't know is that this two men are about to play a major
role in his life.
I found this book
very funny and interesting. The book is told in
various perspectives, which made the book a faster and more enjoyable
read. I also liked how well developed the characters were, it made them
very likable; I especially liked our main character Dave he was very warm
hearted. The book had several twist that I wasn't expecting the
author really surprised me. In short this book is a very quick, funny, quirky
sci-fi/dystopian that everyone should pick up at one point
in their lives.
