The Lecturer’s Tale Review:

James Hynes is a much-accomplished writer. One of his books has been added to the New York Times Notable list. This book is also quite interesting since it has a bit of a theme of greed. Human beings never tend to get satisfied with what they have since they always want more. This urge is strengthened once they realize that they have power and control over someone else.

Even while dealing with a serious theme, the author adds in just the right amount of humor at the right time which keeps the writer absorbed in the book. Dealing with the power struggles people have to face in academic, this book is a must-read.
