For the nameless hero of Michael Hogan?s riveting, savagely comical novel, everything feels a little off-kilter. On his first day of work at a prestigious Manhattan firm, the bright, young would-be... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Great book! If you were ever young, successful, and completely out of control, you will relate to this book. It was extremely entertaining to experience first hand someone else's trials, tribulations and downward spiral while within the confines of my own home and sober head. I am hoping that this novel lives on. Now on to the process of dealing with that head. Cheers

This book will make you double over with laugh-out-loud laughter - just before it rips your heart out.Whoever thought an expose of intelligence and education out stripping maturity could ring so true to 20-somethings, 30-somethings and beyond.IF you love lawyers, hate lawyers, know a lawyer, don't want to know a lawyer, are thinking about becoming a lawyer - IF YOU'RE BREATHING - read this book!It makes me think of Bright Lights Big City with a bigger bite, a sharper edge, and the generous (sometimes savage) humor of the innocent.Anyway - If Dustin Hoffman's GRADUATE and Holden Caufield had gotten together in a New York after hours joint to compare notes and Marcel Proust had happened to be in the same room on assignment for PUNCH and wrote down what he overheard --- maybe that's something of what I just experienced reading this novel. Read it, enjoy it and tell your friends, if (unlike the main character in MAN OUT) you have any.
