Review:
Fascinating...the book could not be more timely...a sharp-edged narrative that leaves readers with a visceral understanding of the fiscal recklessness that lies behind today's headlines -- Michiko Kakutani * New York Times * Michael Lewis's bravura journey through Europe's economic underbelly brilliantly charts the consequences of a world plagued by debt...highly enjoyable...nicely politically incorrect, often very funny, and shot through with genuine insight -- Robert Harris * Sunday Times * Brilliant ... he has a novelist's gift * Spectator, Books of the Year * Lewis' investigation of bubbles across Europe is brilliantly, sadly hiliarious * GQ magazine * He writes with the wit and observational eye of a travel writer -- Richard Fitzpatrick * Irish Examiner * He writes quite brilliantly and understands the complex financial matters whereof he speaks. As polemical prose goes, it is hard to beat -- Howard Davies * Management Today * Lewis is the finest storyteller of our generation * Malcolm Gladwell * He is so good everyone else may as well pack up * Evening Standard * Michael Lewis meets some extraordinary characters in his excursion through the barely controlled madness that is modern finance ... lucid, entertaining -- Tony Barber * Financial Times *
