Exciting story with a hard edged vibe in a fascinating world of corrupt financiers, moody sleuths, loads of coffee, and a variety of Swedish sandwiches. Some of the computer hacking was a bit suspect, but otherwise I was drawn into these characters and look forward to their further adventures (literary, cinematic, and even the Hollywood version).(less)

**spoiler alert** Enjoyed the reality of the writing, how our protagonists work their way out of internal debates on morality and emotions with a practical resolve to keep going. The mechanics of revolutionary struggle were fascinating, the sense of impending doom and the crookedness of them running the show. All the while the people, on each side of the battle, would never give up as long as they have the guns.(less)

The book shines in the historical and sociological background that defines English culture, but crumbles towards the end when less dignified behaviour becomes hard to explain. Some good insights are that an obsession with housing and property makes sense in a country with terrible weather that for a time only gave voting rights to landowners. The idolatry of the country side harks back to an idealised past that was probably never within the reach of most people (see 'The American Dream'). This book also gave me some good cocktail party chat: "Why do you live in England?" a) "I admire the quiet dignity of the English people" b) "The English are accepting of eccentrics and you know I can be a little wacky" c) "Individuality and independence are shared values between them English and I" d) "I like how people are so polite that they will not talk to you because they assume you do not want to talk to them" e) All of the above It is nice to know that the English are also somewhat confused by themselves. The difficult and ugly face of hooliganism gets a quick mention, but then we drift into turn of the century stadium games with riotous fans and even into the origins of the game itself which seems to have something to do with fights between villages and schools. This then drifts into historical riots and how political change was mostly an excuse for a good riot. The lager lout gets a similar treatment. His historical existence is verified but we still have no clue why a really good night out includes a fight, except that it always has. Interestingly, London does not feature too much and that make sense. London is a slightly different beast than England and sometimes has more in common with New York and other international cities than with the shires and villages around it. Jolly good!(less)

Reading this book feels like getting slapped (senseless) by salvo after salvo of common sense. It deconstructs the myths of Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and the rest of the purveyors of the American Dream. While that sounds great, and revolutionary, in reality 37Signals is telling us what worked for them and as always 'your mileage may vary'. If nothing else, this is a quick read that will remind you of all the things you should be doing.(less)
