Brooke wants. She isn’t in need, but there are things she wants. A sense of purpose, for instance. She wants to make a difference in the world, to impress her mother along the way, to spend time with friends and secure her independence. Her job assisting an octogenarian billionaire in his quest to give away a vast fortune could help her achieve many of these goals. It may inspire new desires as well: proximity to wealth turns out to be nothing less than transformative. What is money, really, but a kind of belief?

Slow and boring
Revisado: 11-16-24
The summary of this book sounded interesting, an innocent getting so caught up in the greed and power of money that they begin to feel entitled. Unfortunately I was unable to finish the book. I found the plot very slow moving, the many characters unlikable, and the audio delivery flat. I may have liked it more had time been better spent on character development and less on mundane facts, like, “…he eats his toast at 6;00 and it is served by…” etc. this is not a verbatim quote, but rather an example of what one is in for when listening to to this book. Many random facts were presented that had nothing to do with moving the plot along or bringing the characters to life. The delivery reminded me of the TV character, Joe Friday from the show “Dragnet”, “just the facts mam”. If the delivery had not have been so flat I may have suffered through this book a little while longer, but probably not to the end.
