The Vulture Fund

Rating:
Summary: Intriguing storyline that comes up flat.
Review: The Vulture Fund's basic storyline sounds intriguing and full of promise -- a successful executive is asked to head a venture capital fund earmarked for Manhattan real estate only to find that the source and destination of the proceeds are not eactly on the level. Unfortunately for those of us that are in the business, the meat of the story doesn't quite get your blood flowing. Frey assumes that every reader is experienced in the world of venture capitalists, and this leaves the story dangerously out of reach for most. All in all the story is a an average read.

Summary: This is a great read!! It definitely has a Grisham feel!!!
Review: This book touches on a lot of different subjects - not just finance - so its a fun read! It may be slow at spots, but hang in there for some cool action. I will definitely read this guy's next book and recommend it to friends.

Summary: This is one of the most gripping novels I have read in years
Review: This is one of those rare books that are full of different characters and scenarios yet don't bore you with pages of briefing notes explaining who, what and how different people and events work. The book started off with an action scene and never let up all the way through. While the end was predictable it was achieved in a nail-biting way. In my opinion Stephen Frey is a brilliant author who will eventually top the "best-seller" of thriller lists. I should point out that my pet hate in thrillers is when the author allows the hero/heroine either to die or spend the rest of his miserable life hinding from the all-powerful avenging force. Mr Frey does not do this.
