Book Reviews of The Columnist

Book Review: A story of ruthless ambition!
Summary: 3 Stars

In this highly political tale of climbing the career heap, Brandon Sladder wants to become the most successful journalist of his time -- even if he has to backstab his way to the top. But his selfish ways don't end there. Sladder tells the story of his illicit affairs, substance abuse, and various wives. Years after having retired, he leaves his outrageous legacy in an attempt to come clean.

Frank has created the perfect anti-hero, but his preoccupation with office politics shadows Sladder's exploits. Also, the secondary characters don't play an important role in the overall story. Despite the aforementioned flaws, The Columnist is an interesting and dark novel that deserves to be read. I suggest you give it a whirl.
