review 1: I bought this book for my husband last Christmas based on a review. I ended up reading it myself and found it a very good read, and discovered that lots of people believe the older, experienced shipping man closely resembles a real-life, larger-than-life shipping man. For most people, the younger shipping man's course of action - leaving the hedge fund he ran and gambling everything to become a shipping man - is a fantasy - but a delicious fantasy! I also enjoyed the background details, some of which I feel rang true - for example, the descriptions of raising money on Wall Street.
review 2: The Shipping Man purports to be a financial thriller but is it really an exposition of the shipping industry. It’s also one of the most poorly written books I have ever ... moreread. Every character seems to be a petulant, sniveling retard or a two-dimensional cutout. The dialog is horrible; adverbs are in almost every line in the entire book (“I like your butt,” he said cheekily.) I don’t know how this was published without seeing an editor.I’ll give it two stars since the industry information was pretty interesting. less
