Cheese is a fascinating book with a little bit of humor and a good life lesson about getting involved with a business and listening to your instincts. I found the characters very engaging and I could identify with them. The plot centered around that old time favorite "get rich quick" theme. The writing was excellent as you could feel the pain of Frans Laarmans as he realizes things are not working out as planned. I highly recommend this book as it seems very pertinent to the present times even though it was written in 1933.
