Bad Paper

A lot of the book was covered in the financial media (and it's fairly short) so if you read some of the excerpts and listened to the news stories you get the basic jist of the book. It's kind of like how some trailers give away the entire movie. You know what's coming before the book does and it gets distracting.

If you go in cold, it's an interesting enough view of a financial underbelly and as I mentioned it's a rather quick read. It tries hard to be Michael Lewis with the story but doesn't quite get there.
