No pressure here, just review as normal. Never mind the personal note sent along with the complimentary copy of the book, never mind the fact that the author is most likely monitoring the progress of his sent out copies, hoping for good reviews here on Goodreads. I enjoy writing reviews, but I also work under the premise that although this is public, no one except my mother will actually read these things. And she likes everything I write, as is her duty. Sadly, not everyone takes her stance on...more
Zack Keller's The Success of Suexliegh captures the reader from the very first sentence as one embarks on a mad cap whirlwind adventure through the eyes, heart, unbounded spirit and soul of Suexliegh, the "richest man in the world". However, Suexliegh's riches do not lie in money alone. He is surrounded by an hysterical group of wonderfully drawn friends from his butler Quincy, and butler in training son Quincy Jr, to his band of Scoundrels and ultimately to the love of his life, the vivacious V...more
The Success of Suexliegh is full of likable characters, witty dialogue, and plenty of exciting plot points to keep the pages moving quickly. From start to finish, I found myself constantly wanting to know what Suexliegh was going to say or do next. I'll definitely introduce this book to all my friends. Highly recommend!
Zack Keller's "The Success of Suexliegh" is constantly fresh and brilliantly laid down on the page.

I am not really sure why I continued to read this book through to the end. I certainly did not have any affection for either the lead character or his valet. Actually I think I read it in the hopes that something would make sense, but it never did.
I hope to win. Want to know the outcome of him being in prison is like...crossing my fingers!
What I would expect if David Sedaris wrote a fictional novel. I found this book to be so funny and farfetched, it is rear to come across such a well written book that can make me laugh out loud.
It was light-hearted from start to finish, with many unexpected twists and turns, and lots of laugh-out-loud moments.
I found my self willing the spoilt and frivolous billionaire to success. It was a change to my usual choice of science fiction or thrillers. A great read, I'd recommend, whatever your genre of choice!

I can honestly say I've never read a book like this before, I loved that the chapters were only two pages each and that there was 100 of them. My favourite character would have to be Quincy although I can't imagine someone being so into waiting on someone else hand and foot and loving it.
The Success of Suexliegh was a wonderfully entertaining adventure. Superbly written characters will have you laughing out loud as you follow them along. I undoubtedly recommend it. I hope that there is a sequel in the future.
Loved the characters, I would love to read more stories about his life and those around him. Just a great read!
