Customer Reviews

As fun a read as I have had in a long time

Rarely do I enjoy a book as much as I have enjoyed this one. Witty and well written and just fun. But strictly for adults. I have no idea why there are so few reviews here. Since it was published in the late 80's, I am guessing the reading public has missed this treasure. But it deserves to be rediscovered. It does give some insight into the world of business and relationships and a lot of other things as well, as any good novel should. A politically incorrect type will probably enjoy it best.

Great, Vivid Characters

Rascal Money is truly a hidden treasure, Garber does a much better job of giving us the backgrounds of the characters than he does in Vertical Run. A must read

A hilarious and witty story of a corporate take over

A successful computer manufacturer was enjoying its successes when a hostile take over bid by a Japanese Giant conglomerate took place . The pace of the story quicken as the management of the computer firm tries to rescue the company before the date-line.It was near impossible as their counter-part had thought of every counter measure.The one thing that slipped from their mind tilted the scale . How is for you to find out . Joseph Garber has wriiten another catch - 22 !

A hilarious look at Wall Street - yet a believable one.

A very unnoticed book - a rare treasure, in my opinion. The story follows the rise of a company called "Pegasys", a fledgeling computer company at a time when IBM dominates the computer world. Pegasys, founded by Scott Thatcher, (a man whose character reminds me strangely of another famous American businessman), is able to survive and prosper because at the brink of bankruptcy, one group buys their product - the Teamsters. Follow this book as it goes about sex, lies, and hostile takeovers. (If you read Vertical Run, you'll know who some of the characters are - people you either may have loved or loathed.)

I couldn't leave the car while listening to this story.

Both my husband and I listened to this thrill packed novel on our car's tape deck. We've been telling all our friends about how we couldn't get out of the car untill the end of each chapter. We will keep recommending this action packed story
