Interesting but…
It’s a great story but probably about 3 hours too long. I found after three quarters of it I just wanted it to be finished so I skipped ahead.

Superb
Exceptionally well written and read.
A financial story that reads like a thriller with the biggest egos in the world.

A “Could’ve-been”
Coll stretches out a dramatic, curious and compelling story by 15 chapters and 10hrs too long. U get the feeling Coll likes the feeling of his own voice on paper after he delivers point after pointless book-padding chapter, going so far as to repeat every; testimony, individual account, witness statement, empirical recollection, stat dec, biography excerpt, and…..so on. Save your time. ‘Achilles Trap” was…ok.
