    Ooh I really like the sound of this! It seems different to things I've read before and the premise has really caught my attention. Great review!

    Sounds like an interesting book, Jodie. Not something I'd pick up and read myself TBH but I have some friends who might like it so I'll let them know 🙂

    I love how you write your reviews, always enough detail but to the point! I think that this book might be a little heavy of a read for me, given that I'm used to mindless chick-lits but maybe the audio book is for me!

    This seems like a really good book to read, I think the cover is pretty nice also.

    I love the fact that you said that the book reads as half memoir and half how-to-sell-anything manuaL. That sounds really interesting! Great review x

    Racism at a tech startup wouldn't surprise me, but is he nicknamed Buck because he was poor and/or only working for a buck in a poor man's job? Double whammy of intolerance there if so

    Sounds like a great book! I too do not really fancy plotlines that happen too fast. I get confused and have to re-read key points to make sure I'm understanding correctly. Since it is a startup, I understand how quick it is to climb the ladder! I've been in this position too. Thanks for sharing, Jodie x

    This book shares an important reminder; how we become successful depends on our definition of success. It is too easy to lose ourselves in what we believe is greatness at the unexpected cost of our loved ones.

    I love how the book draws upon the title and current tragedies to reinforce the story and learning being unfolded.
    Thank you for sharing this!

    What a cool review, something I wouldn't usually read! I like the idea of alligning your idea of success – it really does mean something different to everyone!

    This sounds like a brilliant read, especially as a debut. Great topic too, probably not something I would have picked up alone but interesting x

    Black Buck sounds like an interesting read. The setting really draws with real life situations. Some company cultures do not do anything against racism and such. So interesting how work can change people – I know it changed me too. Glad you enjoyed the read!
