What is Job, The about?

An up-and-coming ad exec tossed out on his ear finds a new job that's a bargain with the Devil, in a glossy, fast-moving, by-the-numbers thriller from Douglas. ``Results mean everything, '' says Ned Allen. Results have boosted him up the ladder to regional sales manager for CompuWorld's advertising pages, and results have won him a nice SoHo apartment, a well-stocked wardrobe, a tennis club membership, and his knockout wife Lizzie, for whom results also mean everything. So it doesn't take a CompuWorld subscriber to see that when Ned's team stops producing--especially now that the magazine's publisher has been sold to a no-nonsense German media conglomerate--the results will be measured in sweat, Valium, slugs of red wine, and alienation of affection. Kennedy knows we know all this, but his hero's engagingly motormouth narration, coupled with the author's knack for magnifying his audience's pandemic low-level anxieties into full-blown paranoia, makes the first half of this cautionary tale--in which a guy with everything going for him loses it all, one excruciating step at a time--intoxicatingly readable, as Ned struggles with the unsavory moral compromises he'll have to make to keep
