"A job at Cray McKinley is whatever you make of it. For the real high flyers, there's no limit to what you can achieve." Abby is a high flyer. But she's not your average banker.

An ambitious young graduate with an equally impressive CV, Mike is in it for the six-figure salaries and fast cars. He's got the skills, the grades and the swagger to make it all the way to the top.

Well, that was all right. Not as bad as I might have expected, given how efficientlty it had been promoted.

I thought that the structure (of having alternate chapters devoted to the two protagonists) worked well and gave the thing a formal freshness.

There were places that reminded me of things I'd not thought about for 20 years or so--the feeling that everything you do is wrong and that you exist only to serve the partners; the hours spent doing coloured graphs, your absolute dependnence on the support staff and the can't-be-bothered secretaries; the need to show that you're better than the others.

I'm not sure how far you could call it a novel, but never mind! ( )
