Review: Unique point of view.
Rating: 3 out of 5

The book was well written. It has a point of view that is not common. It kind of reminded me of Pulp Fiction in that there are no distinct good guys and bad guys. The title really does fit the story which revolves around economically powerful families and the relationship between the businesses these families operate. It is told from the perspective of one of these families. There is not much character development outside of the family dedication and ambition for power in a pretty much anarchic environment where law enforcement is almost nonexistent and mostly corrupt. So to summarize: big business, corruption, family devotion, questionable ethics, and anarchy. I didn't get a mortal to the story but I think that the theme of the next book in the series is revenge. Since I like good guys beat the bad guys stories this book was not for me.
