Brilliant writing and a fantastic plot make RomperSuit an absolute page burner to read. An often darkly humorous tale of career and marriage, sex and violence centered around Charlie Campbell, a cutthroat investment banker trying to juggle the placid suburban life with the dog eat dog world he works in. Picture Wall Street meets Gangs of New York with better hygiene. The characters are complex and wildly varied, and all of them utterly flawed, which makes them so enjoyable to read.This could have easily been a laughable mess, but Jarvis shows he has the chops to pull it off in spades. Well written with constant action, this was one I couldn't put down until the last page was devoured.
