A white-knuckle ride through Shakespeare,
This review is from: Getting Even (Paperback)
I resoundingly disagree with the earlier reviewer - 'painfull' (purlease!) this novel was not; more it was a 21st century, white-knuckle ride through Shakespeare via Soho. For anyone who's ever worked in a business partnership that's gone sour, it rings true, and maybe even touches the odd nerve. OK, so I'm no chick or lit expert (I'm a bloke for starters) and maybe its not got the gravitas of Willy himself, but who really reads Othello on the beach (or bus) these days? I couldn't put it down - and that's saying something; I'd bought it for my girlfriend.

The perfect winter read - just add cocoa!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Even (Paperback)
Lost in Sarah Rayner's wonderfully entertaining new novel set in Soho's adland, I've spent much of the past week gasping and giggling, gaping at outrageous gossip and longing to slap someone. In fact, it's been exactly like working in an ad agency!Getting Even more than lives up to its sassy, seductive cover. The industry detail is spot-on and the characters are so authentic and vivid that I feel I'm likely to walk round a corner in the West End and bump into one. I loved sexy, irate Ivy (though I probably shouldn't have) and her mean manouvres to wreak revenge on her colleague Orianna whose promotion so enrages her. I really felt for Orianna, a big-hearted, hard-worker determined to play fair in a tough, male-dominated world. And I adored dishy Dan and amorous, glamorous Rob, genuinely nice guys horribly tangled in a wicked web of lies. Anyone who's ever worked with a bitchy colleague or dodgy boss will race through this book with a big grin on their face. I relished every minute of it and now sit impatiently drumming my fingers waiting for Rayner's next offering.

Rayner does it again,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Even (Paperback)
Well when I read Rayners first novel..The Other Half..I was transfixed from start to finish and then when I heard she had done a second novel so soon I presumed (being the cynic I am) that it would be a watered down version of the first novel. OH HOW WRONG CAN A BOY BE!!!!?????? Rayners Getting Even is a masterpiece, loosely based on Othello I found it to be compelling, completely enthralling, very sexy, very sexy indeed, mature, funny, clever witty and above all just totally inspiring. The characters are all from an ad agency, a world I know nothing about but that really does not matter,Rayners way of writing makes you feel you know that world inside out, the bitchy nasty world of copy writing..perhaps I took the wrong career move and should have gone there myself!...with the main story taking place in Soho, one immediately feels at home in the G and T world of the bars and the coccaine snorting clubs and the crisp chablis drinking houses that Rayner transports us to, we can soak up the glamour and the feeling of being "in" girl rather than an it girl, we fall in love with Rob the gorgeous gay gym instructor who makes us all want to meet him and for him to be our new best friend.....and even though we know the ending of Othello we are not ready for the way this epic climaxes. Rayner has done it again and lets hope she has more of the same coming very soon to a bookshelf near ME!!!!!
