A MUST READ!
Reader Rating See Detailed Ratings
Posted June 30, 2009, 5:01 PM EST: This book is a MUST READ for anyone looking for some cheap entertainment. John Wylie captures your attention from page 1, and leaves you wanting WAY more by the end of it all. This book tells a great story of a Scottish immigrant who comes to the United States and lives the corporate life. Fast cars, private jets, fast women, and unfortunately for Mr. Wylie - world class drinks! A D.U.I changes his world upside down, and will make you think twice about getting one. This book should be a must read for all teenagers before they are given a drivers license. I HIGHLY recommend this classic!
