Book Reviews of Liar's Poker: Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street
Book Review: Have you read Candide? Read Liar's Poker
Summary: 5 Stars
Liar's Poker reminded me of Voltaire's Candide and gave me comparable laughs. When a trader tells the young trainee Lewis that he is lower than "whale shit on the ocean floor", he recoils to a corner at the trading room "feeling the warmth of the whale shit". This is one of the funniest books I've read. Cynical, with the perfect timing of comedy, full of insights into the machinery of greed, it portrays Wall Street as the ship of fools. And at the last chapter, if you read between the lines, you will agree that he, too, concludes that the best choice is still to care for you own garden...
Read it and enjoy! Believe me, I never lie.
