Book got boring half way through. It was really too long for the story line.
I love it when different aspects of my life connect. Anyhow, my Italian Cinema club was showing a 2013 film, Capitale Umano. I couldn't make that showing, but the reviews were intriguing: The reviewers were pleasantly surprised that the (American) book translated so well to an Italian setting. So, I looked for the book, first in my local library (no dice), then here. Voila!
An excellent book. Written in 2003, covering a financial meltdown current then, but still vibrant and utterly convincing (and relevant) today. The characters were realistic -- no out-and-out villains, but recognizable shades of gray. And the writing was excellent and non-obtrusive.
I highly recommend this book. I'm going to look for more by the author.
