Doğruca sıkıcı. Sanırım 70'lerde Los Angeles'ta yaşayan bir narsist olsaydım, marjinal olarak ilginç bulmuş olabilirdim.
Argues that not all customers are equally profitable to a company and suggests that companies should therefore treat customers differently, improving service to the best customers and getting more of their business while finding ways to either make unprofitable customers profitable or let them go. Like many good ideas, this one seems obvious until you realize that most companies do not act as if they understand it. The book gets bogged down in the details from time to time, but the central idea is rich with implications for most companies.
great book. cant be a punk with out reading this. its still tattooed on my wrist somewhere under there.
*Review coming soon*
A fine conclusion to the first trilogy of three in the Novels of the Change; see my review of Island in the Sea of Time
When I read the synopsis of this book, I was expecting to read the typical mystery/thriller. Girl meets boys, boy is a murderer, girl and friends have to solve the murder. Boy was I wrong. This book is nothing ordinary. It is the very complex story of a very complex cast of characters. Sometimes I loved them, sometimes I hated them, sometimes I was just disappointed in them. But always I was intrigued by them. I could tell right away that this book was going to be a dark one. At the halfway point, I really had no idea how I was going to feel about the story in the end. At one point, I even contemplated whether I should finish it, but I couldn't turn away. It was like watching a train that is on the wrong track. You know it is going to wreck, you don't want to see it, but you can't turn away. The only thing that I will say, though, is that I couldn't read this book straight through. I had to read some each day, but read other things along with it. This is the first book by Billie Hinton that I have read, but I will certainly be reading more. She really knows how to tell a story that keeps you involved. I loved her edgy descriptions, use of symbolism, and the complexity of the characters. I find that I HAVE to know what happens to these characters and hope to read the sequel to this one soon. Kudos, Ms. Hinton. A very complex, very dark story!
