“Eve’s Hungry” is an extremely creative and often very hilarious send-up of the giant tech companies and the oversized personalities of their founders or other executives. The narrator, Tess Irondale, is absolutely fantastic! If you enjoyed her narration of Elliott Kay’s “Good Intentions” series, you’re in for a treat, and if you haven’t yet listened to her….you’ve got lots of treats awaiting you.
First, let’s be clear – if you’re an Apple fangirl (or fanboy), you’re going to enjoy this book much more than if you like trolling Internet forums and chatgroups to disparage all things Apple and anyone who would even consider purchasing any of their products. Apple, its executives and its employees are presented as honest, honorable, magnanimous, and, at least in the case of Eve, as cute and sexy as hell! Google and Microsoft are presented as evil and/or irrelevant, and Amazon, and Yahoo! are presented as 2nd rate to Apple. Well, ok, we can all agree that Yahoo! is/was 2nd rate to almost everyone.
Okay, it’s obvious, but I have to applaud naming Eve “Eve”. Bite of the apple, get it? Ditto applauding the title…”Eve’s Hungry”…that explains the bite out of the Apple logo! Eve is, btw, bisexual but prefers women…but her encounters are brief and fade to black in the book.
Anyway, the corporate battle presented in 2032 between Apple and Google’s Android is often hilarious! Why, Eve asks a rebel chief, would you want to fight a war with second rate tablets? One recurring theme is that
Anyway, Larry Page and Sergi decide to destroy the world (they changed Google’s motto from “do no evil” to “yes, we’re evil….deal with it”), and Apple and the other companies team up to stop them. Much silliness and digs at tech companies and their bosses ensue.
Steve Jobs is still alive for this book, and he is presented as an over-the-top Zen master, product innovator and capitalist striving to improve the human condition. So….no real stretch there. ;)
The bottom line is that I really enjoyed “Eve’s Hungry”, even though I found the ending unsatisfying, and I recommend it! 4* for intelligently crafted fun that is very enjoyably narrated.

From the moment Android was released, Sergei knew that Google was ultimately doomed. Android was designed from top to bottom to create misery and despair. It was a hate letter to humanity, a jealous slap at the world for loving IOS.

Five stars might be just a little high for this fun, original story about a tech war pitting Google against Apple and most of the rest of the tech companies. And when I say "war," I really mean WAR! With lasers and large caliber weaponry, with swords and light sabers, with tanks and starships, and even with the threat of nuclear annihilation! It could use a bit of editing, a bit of proofreading to correct typos and such, but in the end, the story grabbed me and pulled me in, and I finished it in one long session last night.
I enjoyed EVE'S HUNGRY a whole bunch! The only trouble is that there isn't anywhere left to go with the story...or is there?

Faced Paced, Funny, Action Packed
A wild sci-fi premise, that competition between Google and Apple breaks into full scare world war, becomes all the more hilarious in this fasted paced novel because it is played (almost) straight. Filled with huge land and space battles, high tech weapons, and Steve Jobs with a Samurai sword, the story focuses on a sexy Apple sales rep who is secretly a warrior/spy. There's a romantic lesbian subplot and lots of insider geek jokes. It concludes with a thrilling ticking clock action climax and a satisfying heart felt ending. Great read!
