I purchased this book after having thoroughly enjoyed "the dealer" and "square mile". Like the previous two titles by the same author, this book was enjoyable and fast paced with insights into financial markets and world of high finance. Unfortunately with this one I found it too far fetched in places. Is every top financial leader in the free world a sexual deviant with something to hide and ambition to play with the markets for their own personal gain ? I would hope not ....
As an American who is living in England and enjoys a good pint - this book was a great read. It was packed with trivia, history, culture, humour, and even though the whole book was about beer .. I never tired of reading it.
After reading the book I have a greater appreciation of the hand pumped pint and the unique atmosphere of my local - Thank you
I bought this to go along with my Sony DSC-P32 because the 16MB Memory Stick that came with the camera just wasn't large enough. The 64MB size was perfect to store 10 days worth of good quality Holiday Photos - and even a 2 minute video.
As this cost for the larger sticks are still up there (I heard that 1 Gig stick might be available in 2005).. if you just want an affordable and slightly larger memory for your digital camera - go for this one.
