Ambition by Julie Burchill

PhotoReviewed by Desere 

I don't know about other readers out there but for me a read about ambition is simply amazing! It truly is a thrill to read how one person sets their mind towards a goal and then to see how and what they will do to reach it. 

Granted some of the things people do are not always glamorous or even legal but they have their own set of reasons and as for the outside world, well the person could care less what the world thinks of them. 

In this read it tells of the ambitions within a newspaper empire by a very outspoken journalist. The story focuses on the main character Susan Street's fight to get the top job and how she proves woman are not to be underestimated, any job a man can do we can do just as well!  

The read started out kind of slow but got going around chapter three, but then suddenly it all went flat. 

The plot was not brilliant and at most time a little confusing as it did not really stay in line, one minute this would be happening and the next the entire scene would be gone and the author has you in a whole new place, without it really feeling like she ended the previous slots. 

This was as I said a little confusing and did not make sense and as reader I felt a little lost but if hot sex is what you are into this read is the one for you! 

But yes basically that is all there is, with just the slightest of hint of what the author was really trying to make the read about,  just how crazy ambition can make us all and I do mean anyone even the most normal person in the world can go from am average to look out world I am after domination and am taking it!

All readers have different tastes and therefore I will leave it up to you to decide if you want to step into a world where a book is filled with good and classy sex, but you do not care to much about the plot.
