Black Buck takes a little getting used to... it starts off reading like a business how-to book, but just go with it because what it actually is is funny, sarcastic, fast paced and most importantly an insightful, satirical look at race in the corporate world, specifically the high stakes startup world.
Darren was a sympathetic young mover and shaker you couldn't help root for and even though I found his cocky tone grating I think it was the perfect way to get the story told.
I was getting shades of When No One Is Watching in the "WTF is going on here" vibe and you know something super shady is going on, and you have an idea its actually a shady thing that happens all the time, and you can't stop reading or wondering.
Audiobook is actually the way to go here - the narration by Zeno Robinson was captivating and energetic, and he walked the line of the sardonic but important tone of the book perfectly!
