Helpful Score: 1
Really fun book to read for anyone interested in money markets. I'm typically not into "financial" books (that's my hubby's territory), but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Highly recommended.

In fiction there was Bonfire of the Vanities; in reality, there is Liar's Poker--the fascinating insider's account of what really happens on Wall Street. This irreverent and hilarious birds-eye view of Wall Street's heyday will appeal to anyone intrigued by the allure of million dollar deals.
These are two audio-cassettes totalling three hours. An ex-library copy in a plastic clamshell case.
My boyfriend read this and really enjoyed it. He has read other books by this author and enjoyed them also. He is in the financial field so this was especially interesting
Funny, insightful. A terrific read.
