title: Fool's Gold: How the Bold Dream of a Small Tribe at J.P. Morgan Was Corrupted by Wall Street Greed and Unleashed a Catastrophe
author:  Gillian Tett 
description: Tett's complex and well-written narrative of J.P. Morgan's role in the financial meltdown lends itself awkwardly to the audio format, in part because general readers who are not specialists in the workings of financial derivatives will find themselves lost in a sea of acronyms and specialized terminology without the useful glossary at the back of the print book. Stephen Hoye's talents don't shine here, with an on-again/off-again British accent for one of the key players and a plodding delivery of some portions of the labyrinthine story. An abridgment could have helped to retain listener interest without becoming ensnared in intricately detailed descriptions of events; such descriptions were the lifeblood of Tett's sophisticated print book, but they slow the audio version significantly. <i>A Free Press hardcover (Reviews, June 8).

  who’ve left a trail of broken hearts in their wake...**_
  
  Maya Farlow learned the hard way to depend only on herself, so when she fell
  too deeply for the bad-boy charms of Del Mitchell, she did the only thing she
  could—she ran. Stunned, Del left Fool’s Gold to make his name and fortune in
  extreme sports.
  
  Now ten years later, Maya’s been hired to promote her hometown’s new slogan,
  The Destination for Romance. The celebrity spokesman is none other than Del,
  the man she dumped but never forgot. Awkward!
  
  Although Del’s not the type to hold a grudge, he’s determined to avoid falling
  a second time for the woman who broke his heart. He’s a daredevil, not an
  idiot. Trouble is, in all his adventures, he never found a rush as
  exhilarating as Maya’s kiss. Maybe risking his heart will prove to be the
  biggest thrill of all...
