Reviews for The Sellout
15 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have a lot of books on the 2008 crash, and what's interesting about them is that they're all subtly different in emphasis. This one is particularly critical of Merrill Lynch and Stan O'Neal, which other books are not, and I found it quite intriguing in that respect. A lot of the analysis is analysis you'll get in other places (this book came out not too long after the events), but the different angle is what you get here.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've change my rating on Gasparino's book from 3 stars to 5 stars. Anyone who would attempt to understand the meltdown of the financial systems needs to read this to attain a proper perspective.
