Jeff asked me to put up my thoughts on the book, so here goes.

I really didn't like any of the characters in the book. Everyone seemed evil and bad... I'm not sure if this was intended... I assume it was. Actually, I did like Mars Girl... although as has been said the book is not about mars girl.

Anyway... I did like the story. It seemed to jump around a bit to fast in the begging and introduced alot of characters that I really had to think to keep track of. But, that could be my impression because I read most books in pretty short bursts rather than sitting down to read for a few hours.

Spoiler:

But, all in all... a good read and if you are looking for a book that talks about greed and people that will stop at nothing for cash. Also, a brief look at inflation.

Like what is the difference between a head and an assistant? And if a head is what I think it is, why do you need an assistant?
