Review title: Dull, Dull, Dull...
Product review: This author took what should have been a fascinating subject and turned it into a boring, long-winded and, for the most part, incomprehensible tome. After having read "When Genius Failed" by Roger Lowenstein, I looked forward to reading Dunbar's book, which I thought would be another informative take on the fiasco. Even in the beginning pages, Dunbar jumped around soooo much, from country to country, from financial discovery to mathematical equasions, from era to era AND from subject to subject that is was just TOO DISTRACTING to be enjoyable. Maybe Wall Street traders or mathematicians would be drawn in by this drivel but I don't think the average reader would be. The biggest disappointment was that Dunbar failed to make even these complex, intense traders interesting! "When Genius Failed" is a far better read.
