Access Speedy Rewards (Working Class #1) Translated By Jeff Erno Audio Books

took me a bit to get into it but once it gained momentum I absolutely adored the world of interconnecting stories Jeff Erno created.
Phil, a wonderfully decent person, able to love and understand all the members of his convenience store "family" with their quirks and flaws Each character so complex and relatable.
A truly great read. Speedy Rewards is a wonderful story with a delightful array of diverse characters, all wellwritten and threedimensional, I was hooked from the first page and keen to find out whether all their dramas romantic and otherwise would be resolved.
At times funny, at other times emotional, this was an engaging read, and I look forward to future books in the series.


Disclaimer: I was involved in the editing of this title, I have rarely read a book which I wanted to go back to so much every spare minute or one which had left me feeling so excited at the end.
It easily made my topfor the year and it will surely remain there,

I adore books which keep your brain alive and "Speedy Rewards" is definitely one of them.
The author introduces an impressive bunch of characters from the very first chapter and promises an interesting oneweek peek in their lives.
All through the book he never breaks this promise, rather surprises us with overdelivery,

Seldom have I read something so lavishly kaleidoscopic showing with a dose of irony and lots of wisdom the complexity and interconnectivity of life.
Life as we know it, life as it can be and is behind every corner you pass on your way to work back home.


None of the characters is perfect but they are all fascinating, each in their own way, even if they are great at being egoism or lack of confidence.
Finally, what you want to give all of them is a hug some a kick in the ass first and then a hug and wish each one gets their own reward for being who they are.


Bottom line is:", . . this isn't a TV commercial, This is real life " which is one of the things which make "Speedy Rewards" so addictive, It is rewarding indeed to be able to enter the Speedy Mart and get to know all those complex characters and observe the whole range of human emotions.
These are not brought to "romantic" extremes but they are the ones which can irritate you or make you smirk or fill you with warmth every day.


This is the first book I read by Jeff Erno and would surely not be the last as he proves to be not only a connoisseur of human character but also an amazing storyteller.


I wish I could give more for this one!

I read this when it was released and reread it again just now, I remembered it as a good story, Boy was I wrong. Well theres nothing wrong with the story itself but its confusing, A lot of different characters that makes it difficult to follow who is who and whom is with whom, its a mess.
So many things happening lovers/cheating and an ex thrown in just makes it more confusing, I dont like stories where I have to keep track of too many people,

If each character had been given their own book it would have been absolutely amazing, Phil Mitchell pours his heart and soul into his job as manager of Speedy Mart, a local convenience store.
He loves his work and he loves his fellow employees, but when it comes to his personal life, Phil is lonely and depressed and still pining for his longdeparted ex.


He embarks upon the week from hell where anything that can go wrong does, It begins with a truck crashing into his outdoor sign and only goes downhill from there,

Add an asshole homophobic boss hell bent on seeing him fired and Phil realizes he needs to put into place a plan to save himself and his job.


First step in his plan do something about his love life,

Meanwhile, Ezra, one of Phils team members, is dealing with his own roller coaster ride of a week.


As is Brandon, the local cop

And Mark, the homophobic boss

Perhaps, with a little luck, the next week will be better.

With a cast of characters, some so quirky that all I could think is that they're based on real people, Jeff Erno writes love stories of different people that's enjoyable from start to finish.
There are characters that humorous, and some that are hateful, And, obviously, there are characters you want to take home, feed them, counsel them and be friends with them.


The pace is quick, the conversations sharp, There are erotic storylines so it's not a YA novel,

Can't wait for the next in the series! I loved how the chapters in this book were done, each one was done on several characters within the book, so you know everything that was happening, but you never get confused or lost.
I have to admit that I wanted to reach into the book and hit "Vince", who is a totally horrid person, although he thinks he is a gift to the whole of mankind!
This book was full of a few surprises along the way!! We meet Phil who is someone who puts everything into his job, but this means his personal life is a total mess, in fact he doesn't have a personal life as all his time is spent at work.

The week from hell starts like any other week for Phil, as manager of a Speedy Mart, until the day that has the truck crashing into his stores outside sign.
. his exboyfriend ringing asking for a loan, . his night staff are held up in an armed robbery, . . and the district manager telling him to fire his best night employee, . a car on fire on the garage forecourt and the icing on the cake is that Phil is put on an action plan, even though there is no reason for this.
it all seems to stem back to Phil giving an interview about his helping out the local LGBT and he then finds out he has a homophobic district manager who now wants to get rid of him.

Phil doesn't seem to realise that Humberto, who is one of his customers, is trying to get his attention to ask him out!! Phil was supposed to ring him one evening, but after an eventful day at work, he went home and fell asleep prompting Humberto to think he didn't want to go out with him.
So Phil is convinced that he has driven Humberto away,
Ezra is in a quandary as he knows he should talk to his best friend Justin about his boyfriend Vince, as Ezra knows Vince is

playing around and is not loyal to Justin at all.
Ezra really does care for Justin, and I dont think he actually realises how much he does care.

Vince shows no commitment to Justin, and quite often throughout the book you find out he is with somebody else, and doesn't seem to care about anything other than how people look at him, and the next hot body he can have.
One of the people he decided to take out was the Policeman who responded to his accident, but to make matters worse, although he lives with Justin, he asked him to make himself scarce while he brought his date home.
. however, on their arrival at the house, Justin is there and not in a good way, . .
Doreen, another of the staff, frequently mentions a dungeon at home, but nobody really believes that she has one.
. but oh yes she does, and learn about what happens in her dungeon!!
Mark, the district manager, decides to go for a drink after the week from hell and ends up at the gay bar in the town.
Here he meets Jeremy, and although Mark is married, he agrees to go home with Jeremy
Things all come to a head, when both Mark and Phil are called into the head office of Speedy Mart, and the events that happen there are not what you expect to happen.

Is Mark a closet gay Does Phil ever manage to apologise to Humberto and go on a date What has happened to Justin What has happened at the meeting at the head office Will Ezra ever realise what his feelings for Justin are
