Liar's Poker: Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street

July 26, 2017

I first read this book when it was new and was utterly astounded by his humor and ability to explain even the most convoluted economic concepts and turn them into “page turning” reading. I have since read/purchased all of his books, as well as having read his articles in Vanity Fair, and have yet to be disappointed.

I am certain that there is no topic which he cannot investigate and write about in the most entertaining yet informative way. This is a replacement copy of my original book which has been lost in our library’s cosmos, but it is one that I simply must own. Long before Leo’s “Wolf of Wall Street” or Michael Douglas’s “Greed is Good” portrayal, there was Michael Lewis’ spot-on depiction of the crazy 80’s Wall Street boom and its excess. I really can’t speak highly enough of Mr. Lewis’ talent and writing ability.
