Gave up, bored again ( ) You wouldn't expect to find much humour in an Irish investment bank during the demise of the Celtic Tiger, but Murray give us plenty! When I started reading I thought, here we go - another book about an author trying to write a book, but it quickly turns into something considerably more interesting. The plot is somewhat improbable and the protagonists have strange ideas about life, yet they somehow combine in a series of comically excruciating events. I'm looking forward to the Mary Cutlass review ;) Hugely underwhelming. How NYT Book Review described this as "laugh out loud funny" escaped me, somehow. If they did mean it literally, was it funny because it made you laugh, or funny because it was pretty dismal? I persevered all the way to the end, and regretted it. The underlying story was bleak, the characters unlikable, and in the case of Paul and Igor, especially so. This was my first Paul Murray book, and probably my last. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

"While marooned at his banking job in the bewilderingly damp and insular realm known as Ireland, Claude Martingale is approached by a down-on-his-luck author, Paul, looking for his next great subject. Claude finds that his life gets steadily more exciting under Paul's fictionalizing influence; he even falls in love with a beautiful waitress. But Paul's plan is not what it seems--and neither is Claude's employer, the Investment Bank of Torabundo, which swells through dodgy takeovers and derivatives trading until--well, you can probably guess how that shakes out"--Amazon.com.
