Synopsis: Cityboy - Beer And Loathing In The Square Mile
In this no-holds-barred, warts-and-all account of life in London's financial heartland, Cityboy breaks the Square Mile's code of silence, revealing tricks of the trade and the corrupt, murky underbelly at the heart of life in the City. Drawing on his experience as a young analyst in a major investment bank, the six-figure bonuses, monstrous egos, and the everyday culture of verbal and substance abuse that fuels the world's money markets is brutally exposed as Cityboy describes his ascent up the hierarchy of this intensely competitive and morally dubious industry, and how it almost cost him his sanity.

Crap!. If i could give it 0.1 stars, i would. I have tried to finish this book, easy to read as it is, even for those in kindergarten, but each time i pick it up, (it's been over a year now) i find myself trapped between the embarrassment of having read it cover to cover, and the anger at having paid good money for GCSE writing by an 'author' who has so little to say and even fewer words in which to convey it. Alas!, all is not lost, from the publishing of this book we can all gather hope. The good news is that this does mean that anybody who can recite the alphabet is now considered a potential author worthy of binding and worldwide print. Get out your old essays that you wrote when you were 15 years old, send them off to headline, and i am certain that they will be more then willing to publish them AND foot the bill for your efforts. This book is in no way revealing, shocking, funny, or anything other a cheap suit piggy backing on the words of others. Barrow boy jibber jabber can be hilarious, and I'm sure the characters the author encountered during his stint in the city were a laugh a minute. But when you try and pass off quick wit cockney of others as your own, when you are nothing more than a bible bashing fraud, and Oh so PC, you are going to get caught out. Publish another book and I will consider it a crime against the use of the English language. Do us all a favor, the trees wasted on this book included, stay in Goa with the the rest of saps.
