I Diavoli - Guido Maria Brera

 I diavoli: Amazon.co.uk: Brera, Guido Maria: 9788817079341: Books 

My dad hit the jackpot by suggesting I read 54. He didn't manage to pull it off twice with this finance thriller. 

Brera gets London wrong, its topography and architecture are just wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. And that upsets me. 

I understand that the finance world is dominated by men, but the female characters in this book are rather pathetic. And it's not like the male ones are that much more developed, otherwise the author wouldn't have to keep on labelling them "the French", "the German", "the Indian" etc. because their nationality is the only thing that differentiates them.

And the number of ideas that he steals (from Bryan Singer to Christopher Nolan) is just infuriating.
