Memorable romp through the financial industry

This is a well-written and exciting view of the sordid goings-on within the world of finance. Efficient, powerful and to the point, this book held my full attention from beginning to end. My only complaint is that Aita at times focuses on some of the more shocking details too explicitly for my taste. Still, a wild ride well worth the time.
