Book Description

Dec 2 2003
Most corporations hand out bonus checks or gift certificates for Christmas, but Wolfe Industries hands out drama. Skyscraper chronicles the week before the annual Christmas party at Wolfe Industries, an African American-owned automobile manufacturer.

Chico, a nineteen-year-old mail-room clerk who still lives with his overprotective mother, is the typical young man when it comes to sex. He doesn't turn it down. So, when Zetta Wolfe, the wife of CEO Tomalis Wolfe, attempts to seduce him, he jumps at the opportunity. Meanwhile, Anastasia, a twenty-five-year-old secretary, along with her best friend and coworker, Shakia, spends her nights in the secret penthouse maintained by Wolfe executives for partying and wild sex. She has higher aspirations though -- she wants to be the next wife of the CEO. Tomalis has never actually participated in the in-office sexual activities, but Anastasia plans to seduce him by the end of the year.

Diana, a thirty-five-year-old single mother is frustrated with her current position as an executive assistant. Every time she approaches her boss, Bradford, about the possibility of a promotion, he makes her promises that he never keeps. Meanwhile, Edmund, a parking-garage attendant, has the hots for her, but she won't give him the time of day. That is until two of her girlfriends drag her to a holiday cabaret and she discovers another sexier side to this blue-collar man.

The week leading up to the Wolfe Industries annual Christmas party is unforgettable, as the lives of four people who have barely interacted with one another in the past begin to cross paths in the most disturbing ways. By the time the party is over, they will be lucky if the skyscraper is still standing.

1.0 out of 5 stars You Can Do Better Zane July 15 2004
Format:Hardcover
I've read some of Zane's other books and while I don't find her to be the greatest writer, she does write entertaining stories. However this one was so poorly written. I couldn't empathize with the characters because they were so one dimensional and pathetic. The climax was ridiculous and I just felt cheated by the time the story was over. I'm glad I bought it used for under $10.

1.0 out of 5 stars Elementary and Immature July 3 2004
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
The first Zane book I ever read was Addicted. I really enjoyed it although it was a bit predictable. Since then I've been waiting for her to create a book just as good or better. After reading three others, I will NEVER EVER read another. Skyscraper was such a waste of my money I was searching for the receipt. The writing is simplistic, the characters have no depth and it's so predictable that you can't wait for it to end. As a teacher I've been taking her books away from many of my middle school students. I can only say that this is the audience that she must appeal to. Her writing is so simple that at times it seems like a 13 year old wrote it. Zane, you have so much to learn about writing quality material. This book deserves a -1 but I didn't have that choice. Just terrible. Shame on it all, no, shame on Zane!

4.0 out of 5 stars So much Drama! Jun 26 2004
By Peaches
Format:Hardcover
Now this book was a little different, about a high class hoe that was cheating on her husband when she had the world in her hands. People just don't see when they have it good, until its to late. I am glass Tomalis got rid of his wife (...) the way he did, especially after sexin dirty Donald, and Bradford his right hand man. Great book!
