A friend recommended Frey so I checked two out from the library.This is not as bad as "Silent Partner" but has the same mechanical and unbelievable plotting, tiresome...Take a Wall Street Ride into The Firm
Andrew Falcon, investment banker, can earn five million dollars for engineering a single hostile take over.Very Good Business Book!Andrew Falcon leaves the investment banking firm Winthrop,Hawkins,and Co.He starts a computer company that fails.Ok, it's fiction, but you stick to reality as much as possible.Afterall, the description of Wall Street operations is almost real if not exact.The takeover is a highly detailed book, which picks you up and only puts you down at the last page.See all 39 customer reviews...Should Authors Cleanly End Their Novels?What if the Government Decided YOU Were a Threat?Be the first person to add an article about this item at Amapedia.Find A Decent Weekend Read!Best Books of 2007Discover the Best Books of 2007, from editors' picks to customer favorites in dozens of categories.New Year, New You 2008
