Crash Course in Corporate America 101

John Anchor takes you along with him through the murky hallways of corporate America, providing an insider's look at what may go on "behind closed doors." The adventures John encounters in his journey are ones we possibly have experienced to some extent in our own corporate lives. SP is an entertaining and compelling read - one that contains intrigue along with romance and, above all, humor. I'm looking forward to EN's next title.

Getting fired is hard to do

This first novel offers a knowing and sometimes hilarious inside look at the workings of a big bank, where considerations of ego, politics and self-preservation usually prevail over good business and common sense. While these elements are sometimes exaggerated for comic effect, the overall sense of reality and recognition is frequently chilling. The reader really cares about the hero, John Anchor, as he plots to get his severance package and stumbles onto a conspiracy that is both his greatest opportunity and worst nightmare.This novel is well written, tightly plotted and totally absorbing. A great summer read.

If you're a boss, don't let your employees read this book!

Anybody who belongs to a hierarchical organization of any size (and that is just about everybody) will enjoy this book. Lift up the rock covering a large, merger-bound corporation and see what's crawling underneath!

Excellent Read

I found Severance Package to be a captivating novel that embraces not only the realities of corporate life but also the bizarre - which very often translates into reality. This book is a page turner that you will not be able to put down. Written along the lines of a Grisham novel, Nilsson captures the true essence of corporate life - from the frustrating existence of middle managers to the egotistical behaviors and mannerisms of the people with whom we work and to whom we all report. Interwoven in this story are true-to-life descriptions of life in Minnesota which include characterizations of typically conservative Scandinavian personalities to portraits of downtown Minneapolis. If you want to read about the people you work with, I recommend you get your own Severance Package. You won't be disappointed.

Great read - glad I'm self-employed!

Facinating look at the inner workings of the business world. This author's first novel grabs your attention and keeps it through the conclusion.
