A story about bakers, trading and the stock exchange, greed, high living and despair.

I am not sure if the book is about how to trade in the city banks or if it supposed to be about Gary. It stated from his earliest childhood right trough to his success and demise. I felt there was too much information about trading and the greed of the bakers and brokers to make this enjoyable reading. Did manage to hold on to the end though.

Not a book for me sorry.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book.

A brilliant read about an extremely talented man who dare I say it took on the biggest bank and won. This was a real page turner capturing the highs and lows of an exciting career as a trader. A must read for anyone interested in finance or the city. Whilst there is sufficient jargon Gary provides explanations. It didn't deter my enjoyment.
The book covers his childhood and university life at L.S.E where he wins a competition gaining him entry into one of the leading banks. From the moment he arrives all bets are off as we are taken on a whirlwind journey through multi million pound deals to despair when he wishes to leave. What a superb story delivered in an often humorous style.I wasn't ready for it to end.
A must read for today
Thank you NetGalley for this early copy
