How to Succeed in Evil is not a self-help page for the maladjusted. It it is the story of Edwin Windsor, Evil Efficiency Consultant. He's like Arthur Andersen for Supervillains.
Love the book, but this chapter kinda lost me. Edwin totally blew it with Barry, and the realator dude has every right to be mad, but Edwin is just sitting there like some kind of sociopath. I like Edwin because he’s smarter than everyone else. He comes off like a creep in this chapter, and Agnes comes off like a goofy henchmen. If she’s going to bust out the weaponry, this seems like such a petty time for her gloves to come off. It’s hard to keep liking them.
It’s only because the characters are so strongly realized in other chapters, both ruthless yet charming, that this chapter didn’t vibe right with me.
This episode is missing the audio player.
Fixed. Thanks for the heads up. You’ll like this one, Ms. Danson.
You’re right. I want to send Agnes flowers. The bit about Edwin and sympathy also made me smile.
Dude, ya said “Edna” a few times in this one
If I’m not mistaken, the episode is still missing from the RSS feed.
Peter,
It’s in the site feed and the iTunes feed. I don’t know what’s going on, can give me a little more information?
