It's an interesting book to get a behind the scenes of the euro bubble. However the writing was a bit problematic I'm afraid. The book may be written from the point of view of a man but this is no excuse for the constant sexualization of litteraly every female character.

To be honest I expected more from this book overall and it's a little of my own fault for going into this read thinking it was non fiction, which I discovered a third through was completely my misunderstanding. But after that it just felt a bit meh because I had expected something a bit different to what I got. Despite that I did try to get into it but it just felt a little meh (sorry!). In saying that, his other novels get pretty good reviews so I'd probably give one of the earlier books a try, maybe.
