 Written on April 17, 2008 Summary: Pretty lame I thought this would be more interesting. I still haven't finished the book and I bought it over 6 months ago. It's just dry. If you've ever worked on the floor of an actual exchange this is like kissing your sister. I have a totally different view of trading in the 80's and institutional trading isn't it Written on April 15, 2008 Summary: Stranger than Fiction Much of what Lewis' writes about is true. Particularly as a trainee investment banker you are thrown in and expected to know how financial markets work. I have been a banker for 20 years and can only now confidently say I know half of what I am talking about. Mind you most clients I talk to really don't have a clue - another anecdote that Lewis brings to life. This is a great read for those with insight or interest in the Wall Street set, fast paced and so funny because its true. On top of it all, it offers great insight into an interesting part of financial history, much of which has parallels to the 2007 Credit Crisis - happy reading  Written on April 8, 2008 Summary: Funny in Parts When I bought the book, I expected it to be a funny narration of the wall street life in 80s. And the first 70-80 pages kept me quite entertained. Well written and funny ! Its the second half of the book which becomes more rhetorical with a dull narration of the events and developments on the Wall street. Perhaps my expectations from the book were unrealistic. I would recommend Monkey Business if someone wants to have a real laugh at the wall street world.  Written on March 6, 2008 Summary: Gets Better With Every Read I read this book again for the fifth or sixth time. It continues to be a great read. I highly recommend it for anyone in finance. Thoroughly accessible and thoroughly enjoyable. Written on February 26, 2008 Summary: good story It is a lot fun to read this book. We can find some roots of today's subprime crisis in the wild 1980's as told by Michael Lewis. |
