Format:Paperback
Not every good book needs to bank on being a sensational masterpiece. Details can indeed be provided by making the narrative a little bit more engaging. That is where the authors of this book have failed in their effort to chalk out what happened at Enron for our benefit.

The details, facts and figures are all there. The conjecture is good too, along with attention to details of the bankruptcy as it unfolded. The backdrop of Enron's failure has also been well written. But when it comes to mapping the mood, emotions and aftermath, this book is incredibly sterile.

Enron was a corporate scandal with some fascinating facets - whistle-blowing, leaked emails, evoking of the Fifth Amendment by its executives, deception, greed, human tragedy and fragile egos. This book fails to adequately encapsulate much of that, after such a promising preface which contained a poignant analogy between kids' "Star Wars" trading cards and the ultimate worth of Enron shares.

Furthermore, the authors chart the rise of the failed giant but do not give much of an insight about how it got there in the first place. However, apart from being mundane, some emerging facts before and during the Enron trial have been adequately put forward. It's also among the few books in the market that captures the extent of Enron's overseas misadventures and cockiness. Overall this book promises so much on face value, but in the end is nothing more than a reference book on the debacle, a genre which is quite cluttered.

This book deserves zero stars; it is a complete waste of money.

It skims the surface, offering no useful explanation as to how ENRON became 'successful' in the first place, or where it's slush funds came from.

Avoid it!

This book, gives a very easy to read explaination of what went wrong with Enron. Excellent for audit or business assignment for students. This book breaks down each issue that preceded the famous bankrupt and makes them easy to understand. I definitely recommend this book.
