Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World by Michael Lewis
4.0
Lewis visits Iceland, Greece, Ireland, and Germany, and then comes home to the U.S., interpreting the financial woes of ten years ago (now) in the context of each nation's culture. Sometimes the descriptions are over the top, but what actually, unarguably happened in each case is also over the top.
The last chapter is chilling, maybe because I live in San Jose. It was as if the book knew that I personally was reading it. The profiles of San Jose and Vallejo are sobering. Four rather than five stars, only because I have no idea why this is called Boomerang. Great read though.
