Loved it!

Revisado: 07-20-23

Great business/fashion history, overview of competitors, people and businesses before J Crew’s glory days of Jenna and Mickey, and the struggle for identity and viability after the huge financial burden of a massive LBO. A business book about an industry I worked in, match made in heaven for me!

A wonderful survey

Revisado: 05-03-22

Tuchman creates a vivid portrayal of seemingly disparate topics that sum up the very nature of life in the two and one half decades before WW l. All the major forces that contributed to the status of the world’s condition in August 1914 are there. Even without a link to the coming war the momentous shifts of the old world of the 19th century to the new 20th century are spell binding.

Disappointing

Revisado: 10-08-21

Some excellent concepts and insights, as usual from this author, I usually love his writings. However I found the spiritual and political mix of this book, and the device of Mason speaking as if he were God at the end very off putting. I’ll hope for better efforts from him in the future.

Important and riveting book

Revisado: 05-13-20

Unexpectedly compelling read, following the problem of opioid addiction through all its ramifications. It all traces back to the pharmaceutical companies, in particular Perdue Pharma which opened a huge door to Heroin addiction for the general population. The greed and deception with which Perdue marketed OxyContin has ruined millions of lives. But this is a book about how it unfolded, the human toll, everything. I LOVED it. Excellent writing and narration made it a read I couldn’t put down.

An Important Read

Revisado: 04-18-17

Some criticize the author on style or brevity. It doesn't really matter in my view, everyone who has control of their money should read this enlightening account of the Madoff scandal. The SEC is a huge problem and if we don't address it we will have repeat occurrences. A vital must-read in my opinion!

Love this book!

Revisado: 01-12-17

Such an unexpectedly wonderful novel. The most enjoyable book I've read in a long time, and a book that taught me to look inside a person in a way I hadn't thought of before. I laughed, many times, and cried. Didn't want it to end. Read it.

Excellent read!

Fascinating and detailed account of the life of Hamilton, genius, unbelievable output of the highest quality, spiritual, vain, flawed as are we all, devoted to his family and to the future of our country. I would love to have met him. Excellent writing, outstanding narration!

You must read this book!

Revisado: 09-23-15

Riveting and real, this is an important book to read. The story of Russian corruption is so timely, and essential to understand in our world community today. Best book I have read in years, beautiful ending, understanding the nobility that can be in each of us. A wonderful portrait of a real and quiet hero, Sergei Magnitsky, and also understanding the depravity of Vladimir Putin. What a thriller!
