This is a HUGE book so big I did a renewal of my library loan and still didn't finish it.
What I was able to learn about was how his childhood was a major impact on how he approached his personal and professional life. And to see how he was almost 2 separate men, with different outlooks on life for each of these.
It's amazing to learn just how much of what he created is and isn't still around.
The author [and narrator] does a great job of keeping this beast of a book lively and interesting. The story is pretty much linear but there are some overlaps due to the subject and number of others involved in Rockefeller's life.

Gave up 21% of the way in, just too disjointed on the story, what was present, past, alternate reality, real, not real. No mention of Gideon from the prior book and no refreshers on who was who and where things left off for them in the prior book.
What's with the eyes???

It's been quite a while since I had a true 'page turner'. Something you want to pick up, something you ignore all other obligations to get the last 30 pages done.
