This book looks to be a finely tuned story about the thrills and pitfalls of life in the fast lane.  Can't wait to read more and find out if the main character keeps climbing the ladder of success before it crumples or goes back to the simple life of growing lettuce!

I should start out by saying that this is not my chosen genre and my mind tends to wander when I read something out of my interests. That stated, I have to say that I was able to fully visualize the characters and the world as they experienced it. Often times when I read, I tend to skip around as I try to find the point the author is guiding me toward. Guiding of course being the operative word. Some writing feels like you are on a tour of a famous old house, with someone pointing out the bathroom where persons of influence and importance of the era dropped the kids off at the pool.That was not the case here. The writing just happened; descriptions lent well to the imagination without clubbing you to brain death and the dialogue flowed throughout in a very organic way. It gave me the sense of reading classic works of fiction.Overall I really liked it, maybe put a dragon or a sword fight in there someplace to help a fantasy reader out.

The first chapter of Striver leaves me wanting the rest.  The first-person narrative pulled me into the story of Peter Wilson as if an old friend, or maybe an acquaitnence on a long flight, was pouring out his life story.  From rags to almost riches and maybe back again, I sense this novel will compel me with each and every chapter as Wilson seeks to have what so few do, and everyone wants.  I can't wait  for this draft to begin its campaign.  I look forward to finishing a great read.
