At bonus time no one can hear you scream by David Charters

Posted

The rules and morale are different during Bonus Time; anything goes as long as it ensures a better bonus than everyone else

Title: At bonus time no one can hear you scream 

Author: David Charters

The story is fast paced, incredibly funny and sometimes probably a bit too honest!

Dave Hart is worried about his annual bonus and we follow him during the last two months leading up to the Big Announcement. During Bonus Time the rules are different and people all behave very differently compared to other times of the year. A deal clinched at this time of year is worth much more, than say a deal in March (which is when Dave Hart last had a deal close). 

Charters gives us an incredible funny insight into what we'd hope are the worst possible personalities and companies occupying the Square Mile (London's financial district). 

Considering that Charters has been working as an investment banker, one wonders how many of his former colleagues recognise themselves or others in Dave Hart and the other characters in the book.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
