Very Dry and Dull
I would term this book a nightmare. This book is about as dry as three day old non-buttered toast. The authors premises is that the activity on Wall Street during the 80's - the junk bond M & A items will kill corporations due to the debit levels thus decimate the equities markets. Not that this is that unique of a thought and the book only gets duller from that point. I picked this book up because I wanted to learn something, but the wooden writing turned me off so much I finally had to close the book after the longest 100 pages in my life. Unless you are a relative or friend of the author I would suggest continuing to look for other titles.

The Best Book in History!
Wow! It is hard for me to describe how much I loved this book! It is so gripping, I was on the edge of my seat in fear. It kept me up for many nights because it is so scary, and when I could fall asleep I had nightmares about it! Freddy Kreuger, look out. The Salomon Brothers are coming to town! Similar Products
