I enjoyed this book so much, I just ordered a dozen for my friends and clients...need I say more! You will too...it is so well written and documented...no wonder Forbes and Wall St. Journal wanted Flanagan amongst their ranks...incredible book.

We all heard the "news on speed" sensationalist hype about Enron, et al. Mr Flanagan tells the real stories that the hype came from. And he kept my interest all the way through, which surprised me no end. His skillful literary references, the "interviews with Mr. B," and the sheer storytelling make this business book as readable as any good novel. I wish all of Wall Street would read it!

This the most compelling work I have ever read on this topic. Flanagan builds the characters like in a novel, reports the facts like a top notch reporter, and provides incredible insights into the rotten world of big businss. He is remarkably witty and keeps you begging for more. It is a real education and an enjoyable reading journey, like none I have read in a long time. I thought I'd o.d.'d on business topics but this one makes you hope Flangan is writing the next version!! Every shareholder and Board member needs to read this and soon!
