RUMBELOWS91 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 So I've just returned from holiday and I've been reading a book that's a couple of years old, 'The Deal - Inside the World of a Super Agent' The prologue features an interesting story about Milan and his efforts to flog us. You can read some of it for free here... https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JArJCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT6&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=4#v=onepage&q&f=false 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dronfield Blue Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Interesting. Looks like a good read from the excerpt. What was Milan doing in a war zone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scram Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Got to say this book is barely readable imo. In fact I had to take a break from reading it because it's so horrendous. Garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marconi Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 When I leave you I will leave you in good hands. Yeah sounds like it, looks like he'd have sold to anybody. Or am I missing the point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 If you want a head start to your sun tan while on holiday then you can't do any better than taking John Grisham along with you; He just refuses to let you have a cooling dip in the pool. I have yet to pick up any one of his extensive releases that are any less than riveting ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big reader tbh but I really enjoyed it for the most part (some of it was a bit self indulgent I thought, but I could get passed that) Would you say it's inaccurate, or paints agents in a better light than it should maybe?

I'll skip the pope pic Rich even Neil promoted this a few years ago before removing the boardroom as outrageous as it read then you'd think MM would have sued if not true whenever people mention that MM would've only sell us to the right buyer - it presumably meant they had the cash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
