Review
'The Game is a brilliant and timely expose of what happens behind the closed doors of the City of London. It's a must-have for anyone with a curiosity as to what makes high finance tick.' --David Charters
'The Game ... is a breath of fresh air ... I haven't read any book on the city that has told me as much about what happens there on a day to day basis, answering questions that others have derided as being beneath them ... The Game's strength lies in its ability to take the reader into the arcane and frenetic world of the trading floor.' --Richard Gillis - The Irish Times

5.0 out of 5 stars
To the point,
By Fetska (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Game: How The City Really Works (Paperback)
I don't work in the city, I never have done, and I doubt I ever will. But I love this book. I imagine it will appeal to hungry job applicants feverishly plotting their rise up the city ladder, those stuck on the ladder wondering why they're not moving up, or those at the top smugly looking down, annoyed someone is giving away all their tricks. 'The Game' is utterly believable and real, stripping away the mystique and revealing the city as one big poker game of bluff and chance. Its strongest point is that this book is blessed with the wry detachment and witty observations of someone who has played the game and perhaps decided he would rather write a book instead. Interesting, funny, and if you like this game, probably useful.

This review is from: The Game: How The City Really Works (Paperback)
The Game is well written with amusing anecdotes and bags of information. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about the city. Its ideal as a holiday read or whilst on the tube heading to the domain of the game.
