Retail Hell: How I Sold My Soul to the Store Confessions of a Tortured Sales Associate
$22.95
This is THE BEST retail related book I've ever come across. Anyone who works in retail of any kind needs to read this book. Freeman's descriptions of people and events are so detailed, I might as well have been right along side him helping those horrible customers. If you don't work in retail, read this anyway. It will help you understand the correct way to act and behave in your role as a customer. Never be mean or rude to someone who sells you something.

Freeman, this is truly a work of written art. I wish you all the luck in the world in any future endeavor. After dealing with these people, you can accomplish anything!

The Associate: A Novel
$9.99
The Associate has the basis for an excellent legal thriller in the character of Kyle McAvoy, Esq., newly-graduated, top-of-his Yale Law School class and being blackmailed and followed by an unknown character under the alias of one Benny Wright. Benny has the goods on Kyle with some half-baked video of Kyle's college days and coerces Kyle into joining a major law firm in NYC in order to "steal" confidential documentation on a high-profile lawsuit. The story is 400 plus pages of Kyle trying to dodge and outsmart a very formidable enemy. At times, the reader is definitely captivated in the world of dirty corporate business and unscrupulous big-time law firms. However, the climax builds and then falls flat as the reader is literally "lead on" to a dead end. This book definitely needs a re-write that brings all angles of characters and bad guys to closure.

The book was most helpful in helping me to prepare for the exam.

An easy read and well laid out. I highly recommend anyone preparing for their initial CCNA to get this book.
