Title: A novel that made me like novels again
Review: I am not a big fan of novels (in spite of having a degree in English) but I gave this book a shot and was hardly able to put it down. It's beautifully written with characters so vivid, you can practically picture a movie version of the book. The only caveat I'd issue is that you probably need to be quite interested in the legal field to enjoy the book. I used to work in a K Street law firm, knew a lot of lawyers, and often wished I'd become one, so I was familiar with the world Roosevelt was talking about and also understood quite a bit of the legal theorizing involved. The only part that bogged me down was the discussion of "securitization" and other aspects of corporate law, but I don't think understanding all that is integral to enjoying the novel.
Is the review positive or negative?
