review 1: Ok So If you have no Idea about Investment banking, hedge funds, stock trading etc etc, then this book is not for you coz Anita, the Author hasn't mentioned the concepts of. Stock Trading or IB in the Introductory part. And 80% of this book has Banking & Trading Jargon which normal people won't understand. If you want to know the plot in 1 line..Here it is : Raj & Rajat involve themself in internal trading & get their ass busted. Yet I won't take the credit from the Author just cause of this fact. The Book should be weighted in Gold for all those who hv an inking to finance. The Research work put in by ANita is commmendable..She has literally mentioned the day to day life activities of Rajat & Ram, including the hotels the visited, the conferences they attended, what they... more had for dinner, how they cracked up the trading scenario etc etc. The pace of this book is too slow..which may not work for regular readers as anita tried to cram a lot in this Book. I won't be surprised if this book wins a few finance book awards
review 2: It was great to read about the background of all the characters and the events and circumstances leading up to the infamous case. often stand-alone newspaper articles are only able to enlighten the reader about bits and pieces of information making it hard to form an opinion. However the author has done a great job of assimilating information from various sources and weaving it together in a narrative style which is engaging. less

Very well researched. However, a number of characters weren't developed before they were judged.
