Got sent the following:
Hi Pete, we are members of Not Just Another Book Club and would like to submit a recently published book, Institutionalized (ISBN 1905558007), for your book group’s review.
Here’s some of the blurb:
“From a renegade team of international corporate surveillance experts comes a behind-the-scenes, riveting tale of one of America’s biggest corporations struggling to bring best practice to life in a cruelly competitive businessworld.”
A blog has been set up to promote the book at http://www.bloodandtreasure.com where you can download the first chapter or read a couple of excerpts.
If you think your book group might be interested in reviewing it, to where should we send it?
Thanks for your consideration.
Noel
anyone interested? I’ve asked for a copy in the spirit of “free” and “stuff” and “being sent to pete”
Well, I read the first few pages online and was distinctly underwhelmed, although that could have been to do with reading it on a computer.
We could have a look, but it looks like a particularly unfunny satire of big business at first glance
Anyone else bothered to read it?
Dear God – is that write up supposed to encourage people to read it? Is it by Tom Clancy or something?? No no no no no no no no no!!!
I second that emotion! Please, no: this is sort of stuff I get sent at work every day that gets filed away immediately in the circular filing cabinet.
