Travis | 7/26/2013
" I was not able to finish this book. The direction was not clear. It is not badly written, but the direction of where the book was going was not clear. "

Kanwal | 7/16/2013
" Definitely a book which gives a good insight of the wall street history. At some points, the direction gets a bit hazy but overall a nice read. "

Nathan | 7/12/2013
" Amazing insight to one of most influential but unknown investment banks in history. "
-




The Truong | 7/8/2013

-




David Fang | 4/10/2013
" Poorly written, makes me want to fall asleep. Read Barbarians at the Gate instead. "
-




Jim | 1/1/2013
" This is a gossipy history of an investment bank, most of it dedicated to the last 20 years where the most gossip is available. It contains all of the joys and limitations of good gossip, although non-bankers may find the descriptions of the various compensation packages a little arcane. "

James Loftus | 10/12/2012
" Will written, but LONG and really only for the die hard lover of the history of wall street. On a positive note I thought it was fair and well researched and did not have an agenda, a big bonus considering it was written by a former Lazard partner. "
