Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World by Michael Lewis
1.0
DNF.
This is an oddly written book. None of the topics are well explained, and neither is the book itself - it jumps right into Iceland without any background. It is a strangely disjointed read - Lewis starts ideas and then never gets back to them. Or he begins on a topic, idea or interview and then gets lost in a strange digression. He also has this habit of trying to associate whole financial issues/collapses with the stereotypes of the people in the county - it's a bit juvenile. I must say, I'm both confused and disappointed.
