About this listen
Short-listed for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year
Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Spider Network by David Enrich, read by Mike Chamberlain.
The Spider Network is the almost unbelievable and darkly entertaining inside account of the Libor scandal - one of the biggest, farthest reaching financial scams since the global financial crisis - written by the only journalist with access to Tom Hayes before he was sentenced to 14 years in prison. Full of exclusive details, and with ramifications that stretch right across the British establishment, this is a gripping, real-life story of outlandish characters and reckless greed in the City of London.
By turns a rollicking account of the scandal and also a provocative examination of a financial system that was crooked throughout, The Spider Network is a perfect listen for fans of The Wolf of Wall Street and The Big Short.

"Reads like a fast-paced John le Carré thriller, and never lets up." (New York Times book review)

It is compelling
Some information is technical in nature, but the writer does a good job of explaining the terms. Wow, the money thrown away by these people - it's beyond belief. The people involved are portrayed really well in this book and I am quite intrigued by the story.

Yet another tale of a scapegoat
This book will make you feel sorry for the supposed mastermind of Libor-rigging, not because he wasn't a crook (although whether he realised it is debatable), but because he was made the scapegoat to protect top executives at some of the world's most powerful banks.

This guys voice! Urgh.
Seems like a really interesting story but I couldn't deal with this guy's voice. It sounds like a simpsons character. Lesson learned - listen to samples to see if you can deal with listening to someone for 15+ hours.
