<br/><br/> No one writes with more narrative panache about money and finance than Mr. Lewis....[he] does a nimble job of using his subjects stories to explicate the greed, idiocies and hypocrisies of a system notably lacking in grown-up supervision....Writing in faintly Tom Wolfe-ian prose, Mr. Lewis does a colorful job of introducing the lay reader to the Darwinian world of the bond market.
