Reviews

[Kyle · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not a very well put together book. The timeline jumps all over the place. Incredibly boring at times. Mentions way too many names and people to actually get an understanding of them other than the main players: Edward and Peter Bronfman, Jack Cockwell and Trevor Eyton. I found Jack Cockwell the most interesting.

This was a slog to get through

Dry recounting of the development of the Edper/Brascan empire. Would have liked deeper dives into business acquisition/operation than political manoeuvring/dealing
