Martin Lukes: Who Moved My Blackberryâ„¢ – By Lucy Kellaway

I’ve recently gone back to my books, I finished reading this book today, it’s a hilarious novel told as a collection of emails sent over a whole year by a high executive in an international company. The book tells the story of Martin Lukes as he practices intra-company politics, interacts with his virtual life coach, cheats on his wife, etc..
I found this book while shopping around in a bookstore in the ‘Must-Read’ section of the bookstore, and I can’t agree more with that now that I finished it. This is a very a quick read, the book is less than 400 pages long and could be easily gotten into, it is not to be taken too seriously as it was all written in a spirit of satire. I really loved the storytelling, the book is a series of emails, from a first person perspective, you don’t even get to read the reply of the other person except at very rare circumstances. I think that Lucy Kellaway did a great job with Who Moved My Blackberry, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a humorous light read related to company or office life.
I have four novels that I am supposed to read and three technical books that need to be completed as well, however, my next book is most likely to be JPod.
