Please note, I do not attempt to review the full substance of this book, yet.

Only twenty-three pages into this book, it is readily apparent that Mr. Ellis is a terrible writer. Mr. Ellis begins the book with the story of the original Goldman Sachs partnership and its familial underpinnings. So poorly written, I was force to read, and reread, passages to understand relationships as simple as father-son, that Mr. Ellis could have easily made clear.

The very same mistakes were made during the introduction of Lehman Brothers. And again when discussing the split between the two firms.

I will forge on because I am interested in the story. And I will post a proper review when/if I am able to finish.

But be warned - Mr. Ellis is a TERRIBLE writer. And Penguin Publishing, please hire a capable editor.


Also, please note that The Economist (my main reason for buying the book), Business Week, Time, NY Times Book Review, Financial Times, Boston Globe, and Bloomberg all gave very good to great reviews. I now wonder if these people read the book. I am disappointed in each of them.
