Historia
Before Bill Gross was known among investors as the Bond King, he was a gambler. In 1966, a fresh college grad, he went to Vegas armed with his net worth ($200) and a knack for counting cards. Ten thousand dollars and countless casino bans later, he was hooked, so he enrolled in business school. The Bond King is the story of how that whiz kid made American finance his casino.

LOVED the narration
Revisado: 03-31-23
I loved that the author narrated and it made the story come alive. It was varied and interesting, emphasised when it needed to be, it made the story. An excellent book, we’ll researched, and balanced in its assessment of all involved. What an incredible life and set of circumstances. I devoured this book. Highly highly recommend to all in financial markets and beyond.

Masterful delivery by Tina Brown
Revisado: 05-21-22
Tina Brown brings the events around the Royal family to life in a way that even a staunch Royal follower will find enlightening. Her book has changed my mind about Meghan and Harry (I disapproved of them greatly and felt they should’ve stayed and done their duty, but this book has helped me see that the life experiences and diverse personalities of those involved would’ve ultimately made relations untenable long term). For their own survival and in the best interest of William and Kate (although that was unintended) perhaps their sudden and final break was in the end the best for all. Better to have happened sooner than later. I agree with every word of this book and it’s a masterful delivery by Tina Brown.

Historia
The prize-winning and best-selling author of Say Nothing presents a grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling.

Incredible reporting
Revisado: 05-10-22
I have two words about this book. Read it.
This is an incredible undertaking to shed light on an issue that has affected millions. This is a story where the details matter. They will always matter and they should be heard, repeatedly, and in greater detail each time. For every person affected and devastated by this crisis, this book does incredible work at shining a light on the real story. Hopefully many families will find comfort to know that their loved ones never really stood a chance and that they were not the problem. May that name - Sackler - forever be associated with deceit and greed. They may not have wanted to pay with their money, I’m glad that they were made to pay with their name. They should be ashamed. Patrick has done incredible work on this story, thank you for bringing it to light.
