“I’m recommending this one. It begins as a black comedy but moves on once it has your attention. The two brothers lives almost switch over and ultimately this is a very good novel where second chances are given and goodness shines through. The middle gets a little weird but the author pulls it back and finishes everything off nicely.
Our book group average is 6/10

Score 7/10

“Our protagonist has lost his way in middle age life but is given one last chance to pull it all back together, he represents an IT company and is sent off with a team to Saudi to present a new communication system using holograms.
I enjoyed his voice, the story is good too, although nothing really happens, it’s the journey and the style of writing which won me over. It does end somewhat abruptly and disappoints a bit though.
