Customer Reviews

Gripping and Suspenseful

If you are interested in corporate crime, this book is a fun ride, and also insightful into how the mind of a corporate criminal works. It is a frightening prospect that in the wrong hands, this could affect our national security. The story moves along at a quick pace, and seems well researched.

Thrilling to the core!!

The opening chapter mesmerizes you and the thrill does not stop till the very end. For most part, the author keeps you guessing and just when you think you have figured it out, he throws a curveball. I had a hard time keeping the book down. The book comes out at a time when Wall Street is beset by stories of corruption, greed and scandals. Vikram Suri is the picture of over-ambitious CEO's behind closed doors in corporate America.

When is the Movie Coming Out?

Sanjay paints a brilliant picture of the high pressure world of investment banking woven into an exciting tale of corporate corruption and greed. I can't wait until one of the big movie studios options Merger into a movie.

White-collar crime gone bloody...

I went into MERGER expecting to find a shallow amateurish string of cliches; the work of a self-serving overachieving investment banker with a literary delusion. Instead, I found myself addicted to a trepidant string of carefully timed twists; the work of an undoubtedly talented writer with solid knowledge of the world of his characters. Peppered with details that will ring familiar to most Wall Street types, MERGER remains an accessible read for those foreign to the world of high finances. Although characters and plot seem caricatured at times, this book will take you on a thrilling ride through executive offices in New York, private parties in the Hamptons, solitary Long Island City warehouses and secret meetings in the Middle East as the merger progresses towards its inevitable closing. Overall, an entertaining read and a great companion for your next business trip!

Thriller

MERGER is a well-plotted, entertaining thrill ride that also manages to be intelligent. In recent years, authors writing screenplays disguised as novels have soured the once hallowed genre of the corporate thriller. MERGER provides refreshing relief from this syndrome. Author Sanghoee's style is at times bombastic but he still manages to exploit the medium of the novel to take viewers behind the closed doors of Wall Street and Corporate America through meticulously crafted detail. There is substance to the tale, not just style. Corrupt CEO, Vikram Suri, is one of the most engaging villains in recent memory, ranking right up there with Michael Douglas' masterful Gordon Gekko. Through an intricate web of untraceable money laundering transactions and illicit dealmaking, Suri organizes an embezzlement scheme that makes WorldCom look like a big misunderstanding. Highly recommended reading for anyone who likes THRILLERS!
