About this listen
CompWare is in serious trouble after a promised merger falls through, so they do what other businesses have done to bolster their public image: They hire a consulting firm to review and streamline their business practices.
But there's something strange about the firm they hire - more specifically, the quirky gentleman who arrives to supervise the project: Mr. Patoff, tall and thin, wearing a bow tie, and with an odd smile that never quite reaches his eyes.
In his first interactions, the consultant asks inappropriate questions and generally seems a nuisance. Over time Patoff gains power to the point where he seems to be running the whole company. He enacts arbitrary and invasive changes to office protocol; he places cameras all over the building, causing paranoia among the workers; he calls employees at all hours of the night; and he visits some of their homes and menaces their families. People who defy the consultant get fired...or worse. The employees of CompWare soon realize they're not just fighting for their jobs: They're fighting for their lives.
The Consultant is a biting workplace satire with the horrific touches only Bentley Little could provide.

Bentley Little still got it
A fast paced and fun ride from one of the best horror writers to grace the genre. long time fans like myself should be satisfied. The book is also a great swipe at the innate madness that is the corporate office world.

Repeat
I stopped half way. This book is an exact repeat of his book "The Postman" Little has obviously ran out of material. Also the fact that no one seems to have any balls in both stories is irritating. Win or lose, ALWAYS stand up to bullies. The people cow towing in his book is unbearable.

Fascinating.
Not like any other book I’ve ever read or listened to, ‘The Consultant’ is an interesting take on people’s responses to increasingly worsening stressors and conditions. Graphic, but in a way that adds to and builds on the story, world and characters. A very intriguing and interesting listen. Would recommend.
