(4,573 Sterne; 41 Bewertungen)

Cowperwood moves to Chicago with his new wife Aileen. He decides to take over the street-railway system. He bankrupts several opponents with the help of John J. McKenty and other political allies. Meanwhile, Chicago society finds out about his past in Philadelphia and the couple are no longer invited to dinner parties; after a while, the press turns on him too. Cowperwood is unfaithful many times. Aileen finds out about a certain Rita and beats her up. She gives up on him and has an affair with Polk Lynde, a man of privilege; she eventually loses faith in him. Meanwhile, Cowperwood meets young Berenice Fleming; by the end of the novel, he tells her he loves her and she accepts to live with him. However, the ending is bittersweet as Cowperwood has not managed to obtain the fifty-year franchise for his railway schemes that he wanted. This is Book 2 of Trilogy Of Desire.

Bewertungen

good reader, very questionable story

(4 Sterne)

Anyone "conventional" or holding old fashioned "morality" will be offended by this story but it is worth listening to so that you can have a picture window into the souls of the people who despise you. I am speaking of the author, who was apparently very like his Titan, of the title, regarding women. I'm not a feminist at all, but I can understand why women freak out about some of the mores of the past.....especially those belonging to this class of man. Again, thanks to the reader, who is one I particularly like. Remember, reviewers, these people read for free. Have a little charity in your reviews.

great narrator

(2 Sterne)

I thoroughly enjoyed the life of his brilliant business and his new wife Eileen. I less enjoyed the repetitive parts of his girlfriends although well written.
