    About this audiobook

    In Eat What You Kill by Ted Scofield, Evan Stoess is a struggling young Wall Street analyst obsessed with fortune and fame. A trailer park kid who attended an exclusive prep school through a lucky twist of fate, Evan' s unusual past leaves him an alien in both worlds, an outsider who desperately wants to belong. When a small stock he discovers becomes an overnight sensation, he is poised to make millions and land the girl of his dreams, but disaster strikes and he loses everything. Two years later a mysterious firm offers Evan a chance for redemption, and he jumps at the opportunity. His new job is to short stocks-- to bet against the market. But when the stock goes up and he finds himself on the brink of ruin once again, another option presents itself: murder. At a moral crossroads, Evan must ask himself-- how far will a man go for money and vengeance?

      I've purposely been dragging my feet on this review, as I'm not entirely sure what to say. I can honestly say that Evan Stoess may be ever bit as off putting and terrible as the unforgettable narrator of American Psycho, a fellow narcissist and capitalist, Patrick Bateman. Evan is a slightly tamer psychopath, limiting his kills on and off Wall Street to those that will be financially beneficial to him. He craves status. Every page of the novel is littered with the names of products that I could never afford, products that I'm too poor to even be minimally acquainted with other than to know that I never will own them. This is part of the buzz-kill of this book - being reminded of your own inferior economic status with every turn of the page. And yes, I understand the morale of the story; I understand it is better to live a life that is rich than merely a rich life. But it doesn't really ring true after the reader has been salivating over haute couture and weekend getaways to Paris that are (literally) to kill for for three hundred some pages. I read this on an airplane to Vegas, and I felt slightly guilty - dirty, money-hungry and simple - but more than that I felt poor - after all Vegas is hardly Paris (despite the cheesy hotel of the same name that I visited while there, pretending to be nouveau riche and desperately failing). In the afterward, the author mentioned the possibility of this becoming a movie - a possibility a wholeheartedly endorse - because I think that it would come across better on a screen than the page. I didn't like Evan Stoess, despite the author's attempts to humanize him, before or after he has seen the proverbial error of his ways. It was a book that captured my attention, but, for me, failed to ultimately captivate or appeal to my emotions as a reader. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to everyone. Special thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this advanced reader's edition.

      Lusting after what he cannot afford, Evan aspires to wealth and status. He is ready and willing to do anything to achieve his goal. Landing a stock market job that requires him to pick companies that will fail, so that he and his employer will make zillions on their demise, Evan has what it takes to insure success. His plots and schemes are so spot on that the ending is a complete surprise. The decision he makes is totally not him. The book is a quick read, well written and completely entertaining. You will learn Evan inside and out. It will be no surprise when Hollywood notices this work as it could instantly translate to the screen. My thanks to Goodreads and the author for a complimentary copy.

      This was a great story, I was really drawn into the main character having known quite a few, “Wall Street Players” who aspired to the to .1 of one-percent. I hope all are not as morally ambivalent as the protagonist in the book, but considering the state of our economy and the people who seem to always make money perhaps there are more than we’d like to admit. I will recommend this to anyone with an interest in Wall Street finance, especially if they know a bit about the workings of the “traders;” but even without great knowledge this is a good read. I’m going to recommend it to certain friends who are enamored of the life; so maybe they can see themselves as others see them. My continued thanks to the author and publisher who have made the book available for me to read as part of Net Galley’s program. I will post this on my account at Librarything.com as well
