Choice Reviews: A journalist with the Financial Times, Tett uses personal interviews to provide a massive amount of detail. However, she does not describe or illustrate the various derivatives, so the reader needs prior knowledge of these instruments. This omission reduces the book's attractiveness to general readers, who are the primary target audience. A timely book on a topic of great current interest.
PW Annex Reviews At once a gripping narrative, an education in derivatives, and a most lucid origin-story for the current financial meltdown, it's no surprise the author of this volume is an award-winning Financial Times journalist.
