I've been waiting to see what you made of it. You may have noticed I recently listed this as did-not-finish. I think the biggest reason was that I found Grant and his boss instantly dislikeable. I guess the language was part of that, but I think most of it was what I felt the writing was overly self-conscious. Anyway, I was interested to see your reaction.
