I don’t know what I was expecting from Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour, but it wasn’t what the book ended up being, in the best way.

4.75/5 stars (bumped to a 5 on all review websites)

This novel is a satirical humor, built around the world of minorities in sales positions. We start off with Darren (Buck) getting a job of a start-up therapy sales company and going through hell week. We are taken through “hell week”, through tragedy, loss, and success. Bucks changes and character arc throughout this story was absolutely incredible and made him one of my all time favorite characters.

This novel is written in both a how-to and novel format, small peaks of hits and tips popped in. Those are were I saw most of the funny moments. The humor in this book is mostly satirical and so it is extreme irony. I don’t read a lot of satire, so I may not be the best judge, but I really enjoyed the setup and the way it was written.

From the beginning to the end of this novel, we are taken through a lot of emotions. It is very realistic and very described in a way that makes you feel like you’re going through those emotions on this wild ride. There were moments where I was screaming at the main character, cussing them out and cheering Buck on.

And the revenge story... did not see that coming, but oh my god did it add so much to the ending!

This book comes out today, and I highly suggest checking it out. Thanks so much to the publisher for my gifted copy!
