Book Review: Circle of Seven

I just read Circle of Seven by Clay Jacobsen. To use the Amazon description:

Challenged to create a sensational story for the sweeps ratings period, Investigative television reporter Mark Taylor embarks on what becomes the most dangerous adventure of his career.
Taking a fresh look behind the scenes of the political process, Mark expects to to find a strong bias in the polling questions and how the results are reported. Instead He uncovers something else?more sinister and evil than he had ever expected.

A clandestine group of media elite is manipulating the country to their own twisted ideals, and only Mark stands in their way.

Suspense blends with romance when Mark meets and falls in love with Tracy Faircloth, granddaughter of the mysterious circle’s leader. He must choose between his career or the truth, and all hangs in the balance as he seeks to bring down the Circle of Seven.

It’s really very good. I read it through the night until 5:30 am, which kind of tells you how good it is :) The only thing I did not like is that it is written with a very Christian group bounding together so well for the sake of good things and helping everybody and I sometimes wondered if the author was writing a story or wanted me to become a Christian. :) But I have to say that it fits well into the book, so I would say it is ok.

If you are looking for a good book to read then take this for your holidays. It will get your mind of things and you will have some fun reading it. But depending how fast you read you will have to buy another book too :)

This is what I call a good investment :)

It seems that SunTrust (http://www.suntrustwachoviaproposal.com/History.htm) has bought some Coca-Cola shares. To be exact, they bought $110,000 worth of shares in 1919. These are now 48,266,496 shares of common stock. The current share price is $46,11. This is worth roughly 2.2 Billion USD :) Nice return on investment I would say :)

Nice and silent

Ahhh… it is nice and silent here today. Yesterday we had band on the market all day and from time to time it can really drive you nuts. At least it is over now.

On another note I finished summing up the 400 pages of Managing People module in the management course to 40 pages. There is a lot of detail still in there which I want to have rather than having less pages and there is still some sidebar space to write stuff down and all in nice big letters. Me is happy. I also learned a great deal in the process as always and now I need to revise a bit more until the test on Tuesday.

On top of that we just finished the redesign of our adult statistics service which we sold to another company and are now running for them. It looks really cool. It’s also growing nicely at the moment and thanks to the deal we will have a lot more exposure soon which means that it will grow even more.
