Review of 'Disclosure' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

I gave up after the first section because I couldn't stand the manipulation and emotional bullshit. But then after reading the synopsis on Wikipedia to see how it turned out, I thought the later part sounded interesting, so I jumped ahead to the third section and read the rest of the book (and later went back and read the second half of the second section).

The half of the book that's about unraveling the tapestry of deception is much more up my alley, but there's plenty of books that do that without spending as much time having the protagonist suffer at the hands of an unlikeable asshole, so I can't really recommend this one.

It doesn't help matters any that I'm still not sure whether I've read this before, or just a different corporate espionage book of Chrichton's that I didn't like either.

Review of 'Disclosure' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A good old thriller. It's the story of Tom, who works in a high-tech company that manufactures, among others, CD-ROM drives - and whose next product will be a market killer because it's so much faster (Reading it 20 years after it's been written makes the thing pretty funny :) ). His promotion gets stolen by one of his exes who kind of gets dropped from nowhere, and who quickly accuses him of harrassment, which is 1/ false 2/ hard to disprove. Pretty nice, and the ending was cool.
