" Interesting idea that one can just completely and totally change the direction of one's life. I liked it and I didn't like it. The writing was fine, I am not sure I bought the story/plot completely. The struggle of moving from idealistic beliefs to pragmatic choices as you age will certainly resonate with many. "

" The writing was confusing. If the author was trying to convince me that she could handle being a bond trader then all is lost. The topic was way out of her league. "

" A great parable about our times. Very clever and incisive. Would definitely recommend it. Friends who live in NYC would probably be especially struck by the world that the author describes. "

" Based simply on the title, I wondered if I'd made it past page 3, but I truly liked this book. It's quite well written, and the main character grapples with an internal struggle that a lot of professional women face. "

" This explores desire, greed, love, the artistic life, through the story of an author who abandons her art to become a bond trader. It explains the financial crisis and how it all happened and is still happening. "
