Alex Fairfax didn't have the perfect life, but at least he controlled it. Then one morning he wakes to the sound of his car alarm going off and starts the week watching his prize Jaguar XKR being demolished by a group of youths. This is bad enough, but when you lose your job and the woman you love in the same week you begin to think that someone somewhere really doesn't like you very much. With this in mind, there are a number of things you can do. Kill yourself, shrug your shoulders and start again, or you could adopt a whole new strategy to life - and that's just what Alex does. Out of a boiling cauldron of catastrophe emerges Alexander. The smarter, sexier, more ruthless version of the former Alex Fairfax. Alexander is a go getter and he's got big plans for all those who bought about his dramatic change. There's just one problem, her name is Amber, she's everything Alex ever dreamed of, but Alex is gone, and he may never ever return.… (más)

The book starts out great. Alexander is highly lovable and I felt sorry for the things that happen to him. The rest of the revenge story is also hilarious, especially the small parts where he grumbles about the little annoyances of life. Then there is a sort of tipping point in the plot, where Alexander goes a bit far in his revenge and suddenly he is not so lovable anymore. Somewhat later he realises this and feels sorry. An exeptionally predictable ending follows. Such a shame for an otherwise good story. ( )

This came into the library yesterday and today I have finished reading it. A great story that drags you along and isn't as obvious as many of this genre. Alex Fairfax is the central character and quite identifiable with. His life is turned upside down by a series of unfortunate events. His car is destroyed, he looses his job and he finds his girlfriend sleeping with his superior. So he decides that revenge would be a good thing and sets about doing just that. He largely succeeds but it is the voyage of discovery that makes this book interesting. Well written and hopefully a good sign of things to come, this being the authors first novel ( )
