• Very Funny And Needs To Be Read With A Certain Perspective 17 September, 2008
This is a funny book no doubt. Its not written by writers and thus there is no rules of writing that have been followed which makes it funny.
Even though some have said the life style is exaggerated (and maybe it is) but unless you are an I banker or part of the fraternity in some way, there is no way to denounce what has been written about the profession.
I really think that while being a cautionary tale for fledging IBankers, this book is also a testament to the hard times they spend in pursuing their dreams. Some have the balls to go through to the end while others (like the authors) bail out when they cant take it anymore.
In any case, this is a laugh a minute book with some witty writing. Reading it was a breeze !

• Great Read For Aspiring Investment Bankers 10 August, 2008
For those interested in investment banking, this is a good book to read. It gives an in depth(and very personal view)of investment banking on Wall Street. Very witty, satirical and critical.
Positives: Very informative, insightful. Book is hard to put down. Negatives: Some parts are long-winded. Authors so obviously despise Wall Street that their negative accounts of W.S. lose credibility
Overall, the book is a great read for those interested in I.B.
