'There were quite a few characters and they were easy to follow. The plot had intrigue, but the main character keeps worrying about his status--I guess that's why it's named "Paranoia". But, that went on too long with many more facets than necessary. I wondered about the ending until it was the ending--snappy. Adam Cassidy got caught with his hand in the corporate cookie jar. He got busted for throwing his loading dock buddy a retirement party like the ones executives get - on the company dime. But, instead of fraud charges, his company sent him into the competition to spy. The premise is fairly lame but the book is great. If you have ever worked in a corporation anywhere in that section from the middle management to the top, you will know this story is so possible that it is probably going on somewhere right now. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

― Joseph Finder, Paranoia
Wonderful! I adored this tight corporate thriller. In fact not since Disclosure have I enjoyed a book like this so much.
This book is so well written. It's long but extremely well paced and everything flows perfectly. It is hard not to like the main character who absolutely has his issues but really is at heart a decent guy. And the fact that the book is soo long and does not have as much dialogue as one might expect and still manages to be terrif, says alot.
SPOILERS:
I was a bit confused by the ending..was not sure what the final outcome was though I do not think I am alone on that. The corporate executives are sleezy as anything and chillingly creepy because they are so realistic. I mean I have no problem thinking something like this has happened or even is happening even as I write this.
Would love to see a sequel although I doubt that will happen. Side note: this book was turned into a film but no way did the film do the book justice although it is still a decent movie. ( )
