A review by jillpadams
Bloodland by Alan Glynn

3.0

Once I got the characters fully pinned-down in my head, it read pretty well and quickly. A very consumable whodunit sort of corporatocracy conspiracy/coverup/profiteering at all costs kind of story. I give it 3.5 stars, because while I read it quickly and wanted to keep coming back to it, there were too many points where I had to force myself to suspend disbelief. Jimmy Gilroy being the luckiest bastard on earth, with too many twists and turns landing in his lap, with too many hands-on CEOs, with too much incompetence. Silly to get that critical of a book of this sort, so I'd recommend reading it, with a chaser of "Confessions of an Economic Hitman."
