## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing read related to capital markets
*by H***R on 16 July 2020*

I would advice people to not read it for fun, because it is not a fun read. It would make better sense to people having a background in finance or genuine interest in finance along with its knowledge. Roger Lowenstein has put a commendable effort in knitting the story. More than finance lessons, they are some memorable life lessons. The book would expose the reader to the wall street of the 90s and some behind the curtain workings of the finance world.ONLY read it if you have idea about finance. Otherwise you may not enjoy and appreciate it.

book good quality of print bad

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Story teller and relevant in current context even now
*by S***R on 13 December 2018*

If you are finance student and single most important thing you can take away from this book is markets are correlated one way or the other. Hotshots of LTCM who conveniently displayed ignorance by being too naive about rational judgement, egotistic attitude in their own intellectual faculty rightfully bought down to earth.Fascinating story about how the whole saga played down. If you are hooked, you can finish the book in 12 hours worst come worst in a day.A must to keep your feet on the ground irrespective of intellectual heights you may achieve.
