5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!!!, 19 Jun 2007
Coming from the finance industry, I can tell you that the main character is very realistic if not subtle compared to so many types I've met over the years.. I had lots of fun reading this book (except for the tedious bits about animal rights and financing that struggling company - intolerable bore had to be skipped entirely), i finished the book in a day. Highly recommend to anyone in the City and outside as a humorous portrail of our contemporary without any moral or principle boundaries whatsoever for whom the party never ends. I actually liked his spirit and loved very much the book! Well written, will definitely read the first one and the follow up coming in late 2007.

This is the first author since Michael Lewis, as far as I know, who gave a true and fun glimpse into London's high finance and what really happens. It's nice to have such a bright, original and highly experienced insider speaking for the City.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cruel deception, savage double-dealing and rampaging egos, 23 Mar 2007
By A Dakhil (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
Behind the City of London's façade of sharp suits, fast cars and lavish expense accounts lies a world of cruel deception, savage double-dealing and rampaging egos. The stories are set mainly in the City of London and feature those whose daily toil involves moving, spending and earning vast wads of money. The rewards for these people are enormous - but they function under scarcely imaginable stress, and not surprisingly it takes its toll in terms of their humanity. They operate in a climate of fear, greed and a debauch of permanent self-regard. The author clearly knows his stuff and he includes some sharply observed insider details.

As a former graduate working in the City, I can say that this book reads very true to life. When you are living in the world described in the book, you think that it's normal. It's only once you get out that you realise it was a bizarre and unpleasant way of wasting years of your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars a barrel of laughs.., 8 Oct 2008
A fictional story of an investment banker that lives a charmed life, extortionate earnings, a sizzling sex life, his luck & good fortune makes this account of investment banking unbelievably humorous. Accounts of the crafty and devilish investment banker outfoxing his mercenary like wife and how he shifts the responsibility of supporting an animal testing research organisation on the unsuspecting german chief executive of the investment bank will get you in stitches.
