Customer Reviews

Couldn't put it down till I finished reading.

Once I started reading I could not put the book down. The characters were diverse, interesting and well developed. Although the main characters devise an unorthodox and unethical scheme, I found myself hoping they would somehow prevail. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot. Would like to see more by this author.

The best book I've read in years

Great characters. A suspenseful plot (I had no idea how it would end till the final pages). A flawed protagonist I could really feel for. A "buddy" friendship that brought tears to my eyes. And some of the funniest moments I've ever read in a novel. Very simply put, Commercial Break is one terrific book. Read it!

From the author of Commercial Break, Keith Harmeyer

Hi, I'm Keith Harmeyer. I've been an avid reader of caper writers, like Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard, for many years. Their masterful combining of page-turner suspense and side-splitting humor, of sympathetic-but-flawed protagonists and often over-the-top antagonists and supporting characters have provided hundreds, if not thousands of hours of entertainment for me. My hope is that COMMERCIAL BREAK does the same for you. The story was inspired by my more than 25 years experience in advertising and marketing communications. If you have ever watched an episode of Mad Men, you know how exciting and absurd that world can be. It's home to some of the greatest minds and most manipulative con men in history, and Adam Glassman, the protagonist of COMMERCIAL BREAK, is one of them. I do hope you'll enjoy the book. If you do, or even if you don't, please let me know. Best, Keith Harmeyer

Something New Has Been Written

Keith Harmeyer and I went to high school together, but he was a theater guy and I was a wrestler. Funny thing: we both wound up in advertising, where I learned how to be theatrical and he learned how to wrestle. His novel is based loosely on his experiences in the grizzly adman world. The hero is a guy who's disgusted with the banality and meaninglessness of the ad biz, but has been there too long to abandon it. I can identify with that, as can most advets, but the book will appeal to anyone who ever wanted to escape from a soul-deadening job. BUT YOU MUST ACT NOW! THIS OFFER WILL NOT LAST LONG AND SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED. AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE SYSTEM IS STANDING BY TO TAKE YOUR ORDER. BE THE FIRST PERSON ON YOUR BLOCK TO OWN KEITH HARMEYER'S COMMERCIAL BREAK. IT WILL BRIGHTEN YOUR TEETH AND IMPROVE YOUR SEXUAL PERFORMANCE. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED OR YOU CAN GIVE THE BOOK TO SOMEONE ELSE.

No background needed - Must Read

This is a must read for anybody. Even with no background in the advertising industry, I had no problem following the characters and plot lines. The gyrations that Adam & Carlo have to go through to carry out their plan is part hilarious, part nail biting and never boring or predictable. I hope we see more of these two great characters in future novels.
