review 1: Wow, that was a fun read with all the suspense and plot twists of a Dan Brown novel. You can tell (by how good or bad they come across) which people featured were the main sources for the author, and it made me wonder about how the telling would have come across if told from other peoples' viewpoints.A very interesting look at modern corporate culture and what the economic meltdown looked like from inside Wall Street.
review 2: This book follows the events surrounding the acquisition of Merrill Lynch by the Bank of America during the tumultuous times of the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007-08. It reads like a novel with the main characters being some of the movers and shakers of Wall Street. Farrell does cover the facts and gives us insight into the causes of... more the crisis and its fallout, but he also adds elements of intrigue in the relationships between people and organizations, and even threw in a little bit of suspense thriller at critical points. I enjoyed it. less
