All Roads Lead West follows Jaime Hayden, a negotiator working for a major advertising firm in New York City. He spends  large portion of his time going out to expensive restaurants and having drinks at posh bars.  Materalli’s protagonist is the quintessential coke snorting, chauvinistic yuppie. However as Jaime Hayden’s story progesses, his reckless behavior, from the women to the drugs become increasingly tiresome.Sleek and bold, All Roads Lead West presents the precarious and materialistic lifestyle of our protagonist in whip-smart detail. Materalli presents Jaime’s life in realistic yet fascinating detail. Each character in the story is interwoven into the story and serve to clarify Jaime’s ambitions and character. Although at its heart the story of a New York yuppie,  All Roads Lead West weighs on the consciences and teaches us about the consequences of unrestrained consumption and hunger. This story was an interesting and fascinating read to say the least.
