Book Review: Hard Sell by Jamie Reidy

I messed up with my HV Nestie Favorites.  I had been at work the past few Fridays and feel even more lost because I never gave myself the chance to catch up.  Instead, here's a book review of a book a friend wrote.

Hard Sell by Jamie Reidy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I don't know if I can do a review that isn't biased.  The author of Hard Sell is a childhood friend.  Someone who even though I moved away in the 6th grade, made his mark on me long ago.  I used to flip baseball cards with him.  I won.  I won a lot.  I'm glad that never made his book.

But back to Hard Sell.  I found it an interesting look into what goes on with the big drug companies.  It opened my eyes to when I would ask for more samples of my BC pills way back when, they told me no.  When they had a whole closet full of samples!  Plus, the look into my childhood friend's grown up life, was interesting.

I wish I could review this properly, but I just can't. To me, Jamie Reidy will be my freckle faced 8 year old friend.  Now he's a grown up man, a successful author and more importantly, in the movie version of his book Jake Gyllenhal plays him. It can't get any better for a young boy from Spring Valley than that. 

Congrats Jamie!
