The Deal (Silicon Valley)

Rating:
Summary: Very Entertaining
Review: Joe Hutsko recreates the real life power struggle of Apple's executives' officers in his latest book, The Deal. It is hard not to have Steve Jobs, John Scully, Apple, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, and the Wintel alliance in mind as you are reading this novel. Nevertheless, it is a very entertaining piece of reading. It surely beats any chessy soap opera shows on TV with its additional insider knowledge of the workings of Sillicon Valley's technology corporations. Many events in the story happen because of chance and coincidence, the typical elements in a conventional fiction plot. But if you are just looking for a time out and fun, this is it!

Summary: The Deal is very Seinfeld-esque!!!
Review: Joe Hutsko's,The Deal, is a great book from the time you start reading the inside cover at the book store till the last page when you finish the book. The Deal is very Seinfeld-esque. Each character in the book is well defined and their stories are visited similar to the Seinfeld characters throughout the show. Joe perfectly brings all the characters together to a great finish. Just like Jason (other reviewer) and others say.....when is the movie coming out on this one? I can see Glenn Close playing Greta. Who would you cast in the other roles????

Summary: We all know about..."The Deal"
Review: Okay, Joe, here we go. I'm not going to say how I acquired this book. Other than I did purchase it. I selected the novel among a stack of other books. First time author for this type of fiction novel. Sure, I'm interested. Let's see how well he writes. But.. let's not kid ourselves. The author had a cast of characters, a plot and everything needed for this novel. It wasn't a bad thing either. I read the book from start to finish and from what I can tell, Hutsko has the makings of a fine author. It's obvious he's living in the age of computers and fast living. My advice at this time to the observer of this review...go ahead and read Hutsko's novel, see what you think. I liked it. My advice to Joe Hutsko.... "you go, Joe." ;-)
