The Greatest Trade Ever: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of How John Paulson Defied Wall Street and Made Financial History by Gregory Zuckerman

3.0

This book covers essentially the same ground as The Big Short by Michael Lewis. It's not as entertaining, and the characters are decidedly less likable (except for the ones that overlap, obviously) and the tone is quite depressing. I'd read [b:The Big Short|6463967|The Big Short Inside the Doomsday Machine|Michael Lewis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275776146s/6463967.jpg|6654434] instead, unless you have an insatiable hunger for this genre (which I apparently do, at the moment).
