This is a well crafted story about wealth and power and what it takes to achieve and keep both. It’s an intricately woven story of personal struggles and family struggles.
William Carter Jr. came from nothing and realized that to become someone important you have to take what you want. Decades and billions of dollars later, his legacy is at risk when someone starts digging into the past of the company he worked so hard to build.
I have nothing against this book personally, I just don’t think it’s something I can fully appreciate. I think, for the correct audience, this book can be incredibly powerful. Unfortunately I’m just not that audience so this one fell flat with me. I couldn’t connect with the struggles of any of the characters and couldn’t fully understand the trials they went through.
If you enjoy books about power struggles and intricate family dynamics then this book is definitely for you!
