Definitely a page turner, but I'm struggling to suspend disbelief. This premise is ridiculous.

Natalia is 50% done with The Terminal List (Terminal List, #1)
Did the main character just get nostalgic about Americans waterboarding?!

There is not a single likeable or sympathetic character in this book.

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that seem to be related to her car stereo.

Natalia is on page 28 of 322 of Niccolaio Andretti (The Five Syndicates, #2)
First the author makes up an Ivy League college, now law school apparently takes 2 years instead of 3?

The author goes on a long descriptive tangent of these 5 kinds of very fancy exclusive tea that a character is choosing between. Then when he chooses, the waiter opens the packet and retrieves... a tea bag.

Natalia is 4% done with The Hellfire Club
Oh. Read by the author. Not a good call (Also, I didn't realize Tapper was a television personality when I picked up the book - it seems like that should better prepare someone to narrate an audiobook. I guess not.)

The reader of the audiobook isn't really adding to the experience for me, and Charlie's relationship with his wife feels way anachronistic.

Natalia is 60% done with Rock On: An Office Power Ballad
I saw Iggy Pop in concert about 15 years ago, and the author's description of what he's like in concert is about right.

The British slang is making it really hard to follow the dialogue.

Natalia is 5% done with Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It
Puts some words around why I felt Getting to Yes was interesting, but didn't always feel realistic

Natalia
Natalia is 33% done with The Bishop's Wife
She has read too many Agatha Christie novels. This is why I generally prefer police procedurals over amateur sleuths - the amateurs have no business getting mixed up in crime.

Is this book reads like a mashup of 3 different books.

Weird that he refers to the Grubstake being closed down. It was open and thriving when I lived in St in 2002-2005, and the book is set in 1987

Natalia is on page 47 of 317 of The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage
"I note that Babbage couldn't even write about life insurance without opening with a career-torching rant denouncing everyone in the industry."

Natalia is on page 71 of 489 of Timeline
In my experience, many people who are successful in business *love* history. This is some weird stereotyping.

The author just pointed out that American Airlines has a hub at DFW. This book is about 30% extraneous details.

Interesting overlap with "One Summer: America 1927" It's a good back to back combination

The end of the book is just as upsetting this time around as when I read it 15 years ago.
