nadia 's review for:
The Trading Game
by Gary Stevenson
funny
informative
reflective
fast-paced
I loved the way this was written, like Gary was sitting opposite you having a chat. I bet the audio, which he narrates, is great. It was giving a modern-day Liar's Poker, which is right up my alley. Very readable and engaging, and took me back to when I used to be in that world. It did lose a little steam towards the end, and there was one final part that felt disappointing to the reader who had come on a long journey with Gary (though sounds like Gary's hands were tied??) — and the Postscript certainly helped alleviate the sting — but I was overall thoroughly entertained so the book wins points for that. Was also hoping for a little bit more on Gary's journey to where he is today as an inequality economist but hey ho. Maybe that would have made the book too long!
