Good story, minimal analysis. August 30, 2010
Shlok Vaidya (Austin, TX)
Sorkin does a pretty good job covering the events of 2008 and the the 100 or so guys who stumbled through that mess. To be clear, the book provides minimal commentary and analysis, but that makes it a refreshingly quick and easy read. It does mean, however, that you have to go elsewhere for smart analysis. (I'm headed over to ECONned: How Unenlightened Self Interest Undermined Democracy and Corrupted Capitalismand perhaps The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine.)
 Great read! August 23, 2010
Nick Scarletta
I found this a terrific read, especially after reading The Big Short. It was surprisingly entertaining and enlightening to the behind-the-scenes action of the months during the crisis. My suggestion would be to create a cheat-sheet on who's who as they appear in the book. There are so many people involved that some of the secondary people got lost as to who they worked for and what their titles were. I found that the method of endnotes in the back of the book a bit weak considering I didn't know they existed until after the near 600 pages of reading.
A must read! August 9, 2010

This is a MUST read for anyone who wants to know how things unfolded during the Great Recession.
