He's young, he's in LA, and he's trying to carve a path in the most powerful, corrupt, and insane industry in the world: marketing. So when Scat (you don't get far in this business as plain old Michael) is hit with a million-dollar idea for a new soda, he teams up with 6, a woman whose cold-blooded political skill is the perfect counterbalance for his naivete. While she knows all the angles, her own angles leave Scat sleepless. Together, can they hold on to the idea when the stakes are seven figures? Or will success remain one knife in the back away?

Outrageously funny, smart, and hip, Syrup is a one-gulp adventure through the sticky worlds of corporate and sexual politics. In the book everyone will want to read this summer, Maxx (ne Max) Barry delivers a pitch-perfect sendup of our obsession with having it all. Self-absorbed and hilarious, Syrup is a Bright Lights, Big City for the late 90s.]]> 41315 12 1704131 1999 Syrup total:765|5:225|4:306|3:179|2:46|1:9| 765 2987 1037 92 18741 3.66 3803 557 38686388 1752430 41315 0140291873 9780140291872 80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169590538m/41315.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169590538s/41315.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41315.Syrup 3.91 702
