Anonymous Lawyer: Jeremy Blachman

This book is so funny that you might just want to start reading it again the moment you finish it. Anonymous Lawyer, a partner at a top US firm, starts a weblog in order to have a place to write about his life. With a dry sense of humour and a more-than-cynical view of human nature, he is the ideal candidate to expose the ruthless machinations of the world of corporate law.

All is deadpan hilarity until he receives an email from someone from his firm, informing him that they know exactly who is behind the blog. Then things start to get complicated. Anyone who loves black comedy and ruthless satire will be hooked on this book within the first few pages, and will probably consider it one of the funniest books they’ve ever read. I certainly did.
