Review: House of Cards
House of Cards by William D. Cohan
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
The first third of this book is a good, even exciting, read about the sudden, catastrophic collapse of of Bear Stearns. The remainder is a, possibly necessarily so, tedious read of this history of a somewhat ousider firm's rise and construction. Herein there are entertaining flashes of interest from the colorful micromanager Alan Greenspan and other execs and the frantic deals to try and save Bear Stearns and its toxic mortgage assets.
