Having already read The Big Short, which chronicled a financial crisis of much greater severity, this book paled in the "wow" factor, but was still a very interesting read and gives credence to Lewis' intro to The Big Short about his shock of the continuation of the shadier practices on Wall St.
On top of the interesting subject material, which he sufficiently dumbs down for someone like me with no background in finance, he's a captivating and humorous writer. It was a good enough read to me to interrupt the two other books I'm reading.
