review 1: Anyone interested in finance would probably like this book. For those of us who aren't all that fascinated by money it's a long, slow-paced financial thriller that is sometimes hard to follow because of all the financial jargon. Even if you're just looking for an education about Wall Street I wouldn't recommend this book because it is written in a way that requires knowledge of the financial world.
review 2: I thought that this story had potential, but it got way too bogged down in details. I got sick of reading page after page of dry financial facts. I think that the author could have conveyed the basic premise of the financial strategies without writing what sounded like chapters from an economics textbook. I also found the characters to be pretty unrealist
... moreic and one-dimensional. I didn't hate this book, and it was a decent way to waste time while riding the subway, but I'm glad it was free. I read another of his books (Project Daedalus) and found it a lot more enjoyable - not amazing, but it was entertaining and a lot faster-paced and easier to read than this one. less
