For the Win

do you like your fiction to be as educational as nonfiction? i do!
do you have an interest in the global economy, economics in general, on-line gaming, unionization, social justice, and/or sticking it to the man? i do!

even if you're not sure about whether you really require these things when selecting a book, you should read For The Win anyway. it's top asset is the novelty of subject matter. this not your standard YA fare and i would challenge anyone to name a novel with this kind of sophisticated global economic awareness. and though it is YA, i daresay that every adult i know apart from maybe my financial adviser and my college mentor will learn something from it. it's employ of metaphors and some pretty plain language to describe global financial transactions and macroeconomic principles borders on brilliant.

on top of that, the story is smartly written, well paced, and stay-up-till-3-to-finish-it compelling.
