The Gods of Greenwich: A Novel Audiobook

" I got the book because it was about hedge funds and shorting stock -- two concepts I've struggled to really understand. After reading the book, I do feel I've got a much better handle on hedge funds, why they are being blamed for the financial crisis of our day, and also agree with the need to put more checks and balances in place. The story line is pretty good and it was an enjoyable way to learn about this stuff! "

" Couldn't put this one down. Simple and predictable but I liked the characters. "

" A fun and interesting summer thriller read that manages to combine hedge funds, Greenwich, CT lifestyles of the wealthy and infamous, and a good ole' fashioned mystery. "

" It's all about the money ! ! ! "

" A fast paced read and full of snappy dialogue with some very clever observations about money and greed in the financial markets. On the down side, it was hard to care much about the characters. "

" An awfully-hard-to-put-down corker set in the fascinating world of Greenwich, Ct, hedge funds. Vonnegut's taut prose is laced with great insights, keen observations and wit. "

" This is a fun thriller set among Hedge Fund managers during the financial crisis of 08, and featuring a female hitman. Great read for what is left of the summer. "

" An exciting and fast read and hopefully more fiction that fact! "

" I got this through a first reads giveaway. I really don't care for "thriller" novels. Ironically, they either bore me or irritate me. Just not my thing. "

" I do not like finance, hedge funds bewilder me, but I could still enjoy this novel, not great but good. "

" Yes, he is related to Kurt (4th cousins). Yes, I googled it. "

" Fast paced and interesting. While this was a work of fiction, the description of the market meltdown of 2008 and what it must have really been like to live and work in Greenwich at that time was captivating. I enjoyed the overlap of story lines and how they came together. "

" Awesome book. I'm not very financially minded but was able to follow the book and was pretty proud of myself about that ;-) Very entertaining book. Love this author. "

" One of my new favorite authors... "

" Interesting read but needs a better ending "

" I read another book by this author a few months ago and was entertained with his story telling talent. This book would appeal to anyone who enjoyed the movie Wall Street. I did think the ending felt rushed. "

" Real good summer page turner. Just the tonic after reading a bunch of non-fiction related to the financial collapse, hedge funds etc. Having read about the 'real' thing, it enhanced my enjoyment of this book. "

" This is a good read. It makes the language of Wall Street understandable. The plot moves along well. The characters are stereotypical but interesting. "

" A great summer read! I couldn't put it down, had to race through it. Similar to summer read experiences of the past that were fabulous ""The Firm"" and ""Jurassic Park." "

" Really good plot, but poor prose in places. Needs a good editor. His first book had a good plot, but was also let down by poor writing. This one is definitely an improvement and as I like his main character and love financial thrillers, I'll probably check out his third book. "

" Predictable, too simple. Read it because I live in Greenwich and it was fun to read about familiar places. "

" Change of pace from Michael Connelly. Well written and suspensful story about the dark side of the finance industry, hedge funds. Pleanty of detailed and little known information about how big time investment managers work. Good read. "

" Yes, he is related to Kurt (4th cousins). Yes, I googled it. "
