'A funny and interesting take on being an underling in the world of the elites. This writer has a great way with words!' Katherine Stephen freelance editor.
'I loved the detailed character descriptions and the authors grasp of nuance in character development. West bEgg is a fascinating piece of fiction that colorfully reveals the lives of the upper class,' Amazon reader.
Luca is a punch bag, a tea towel, a toilet bowl, to Macco One, the undeniable and unbreakable King of Egg Power, proud of averaging over a hundred flights a year to visit chicken markets around the world. Anna moved to Catania to work for Madame Sicily fulfilling varied tasks from picking up Céline swimwear before it hits the runways, to recovering badly parked Lamborghinis. La Revolução dreams through buildings but builds parking spaces, when she is not helping launder money for her boss’s dad’s dodgy charities. And finally Carolina is out to conspire with Paquita who met her boss, the German, in a red lit booth, to understand why the man has to drain the passion out of everything. Their fates will collide at the preposterous Fanta party, but the question is whether their bosses will get what they deserve?
West bEgg is a novel about the behaviour of the power elite who are often still arrogant and uneducated, ridiculously flamboyant, obscene, sex-obsessed, full of entitlement, afraid of rejection and unfortunately indestructible.

Do you think your life at work isn't fun? Or that your bosses are always there with the most ludicrous requests? Think again! In 4 eventually intertwined stories West bEgg offers a vivid and hilarious look at work life and some of its miseries. Despite the topic should be making the reader rather depressed the tempo in the narration and Mari Reiza satirical eye make this book a pleasure and addictive to read. West bEgg brings to the reader many moments (too crazy not to be true!) of absolute laughter together with times for reflection on how, with the excuse of doing our job, we often forget to think critically and act accordingly!

Through the lives of four protagonists, West bEgg offers a lurid, hilarious look at corporate culture and its miseries. Luca, Anna, La Revolucao, and Carolina joined the corporate world to realize their dreams but had no idea what kind of miseries awaited them there.
Reiza has an excellent eye for detail when it comes to spinning nitty-gritty of corporate world into humorous tales. The hilarious interplay between corporate bosses and the four protagonists keeps readers in stitches. Reiza gets in plenty of funny jabs at corporate culture as she goes through everyday lives of her protagonists and humiliations and indignities they suffer at the hands of their self-serving bosses.
The narrative is tinged with wry humor and the prose is pitch-perfect with clear details. The reader will devour the book in no time.
