review 1: Sensationalist, biased, repetitive and rushed.Oppenheimer's look into the life of Bernard L Maddof dedicates far too many chapters to his early life in order to make up for a lack of actual substance. Once you get past the oft repeated sound bites from high school chums there is literally nothing of interest in this book. I get that Maddof was a Crook but is it really necessary to keep forcing that view down our throats?
review 2: I totally understand that it will be a few years before the really meaty well-researched books about Madoff will be written. It takes time and distance to write them. But just because this was obviously a quickly thrown-together, sensationalistic book designed to capitalize on the scandal still being in the papers... would it have kil... moreled the publisher to arrange for the book to be edited?All that aside, it's a fun romp, if I could get over the disorganization and ocational repetition. the world of Madoff's circle seems crazy and foreign. I've never known any New York investment bankers, so maybe he's just a part of a bigger crazy subculture, but is still sounds so different from the world of business and investment banking in the rest of the country.Finally, I was really awestruck by how broad the fallout has beem. I mean, how often do you hear about Elie Wiesel and ZsaZsa Gabor's insane husband in the same context? less
