Title: A boring premise and story make for an unengaging read.
Review: The author freely admits he's after money, period, which is why he joined Merrill Lynch, which should tell us something about his motivation for writing this book. Unfortunately for him, the boring stories and flat characterizations make this book dull. Have our attention spans gotten so short that "tell alls" books can only cover a year's worth of time? Lord save us from 20-somethings who think what they've experienced so far is so meaninful they must write a book, and save us from our keyword-oriented society ("Has to do with the market? Let's publish it!") that keeps this kind of stuff coming off of printing presses.
Is the review positive or negative?
