Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Eccentricities of Wall Street...
An entertaining look into the life of a Salomon Brothers bond trader in the 1980s. The book offers a cursive overview of the financial innovations during that period, but the real contribution is in examination of the culture and the personalities of the Wall Street traders. Not without some embellishment, Michael Lewis does a great job of communicating the eccentricities and absurdities of the traders - 'the big swinging dicks'. At the very least, 'Liar's Poker' is an entertaining read, at best, an insightful look at what (and who) turns the wheels of our financial institutions.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - a classic
this book is a must read if you are getting into the financial industry along with "when genius failed" and others.




Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - JH
OUTSTANDING!! This is the single best book I've ever read for learning the basics of life in a Wall St. investment bank. Very accessible and humorous, yet informative as well.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful, how could you not like it?
This is a great book. I mean, everyone else says so, so they can't be wrong. Yes, I want a job on wall street.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Pretty lame
I thought this would be more interesting. I still haven't finished the book and I bought it over 6 months ago. It's just dry. If you've ever worked on the floor of an actual exchange this is like kissing your sister. I have a totally different view of trading in the 80's and institutional trading isn't it
