Spectacular book

My first day of vacation was spent sleeping because this book kept me awake most of the night before. What a fantastic read! I could NOT put it down. Stoddard shines a light on the dark side of today's "business is business" mentality with a shockingly funny story that hooked me from page one. The tale came alive through unforgettable characters, both captivating and repulsive. They seem oddly familiar as they reflect the personalities in corporate America today. This is an energetic battle between good and evil. Pick this one up and hang on for a wild ride!

I Could Not Put It Down

Knights in Dark Satin was a surprisingly great read. The author develops the charaters so well, very reminiscent of Carl Hiaasen's style, I had to find out what they were going to do next. Darkly humorous, the shenanagans of the consulting firm and how they try to take over the third generation family run tractor company ring true in todays corporate mentality with no morals or conscience. The Kansas small town values and many twist and turns, including a tornadic conclusion kept me totally absorbed through the entire book.

A Timely and Funny Tale Set in the World of American Business

In an era of leveraged buy-outs, sleazy take-overs and corporate ethics gone amuck, Christopher Stoddard weaves an authentic, darkly humorous and endlessly entertaining tale of an outside consulting firm's attempts to ruthlessly profit on the misfortunes of a family-owned Kansas tractor company. Beyond this new author's unique and fresh story-telling abilities, Stoddard is surely someone who has lived close to his subject matter. This much is guaranteed. You won't put this book down until you follow each twist and turn to this writer's clever conclusion. I highly recommend Knights in Dark Satin to anyone interested in an outrageously funny and painfully present-day account of American business practices.
