Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com Meet John and Peter, two young business school graduates about to become frustrated foot soldiers for the world of high finance. 20 hour days, inflated salaries, senseless prospects, outlandish characters and strip club lap dances make escaping with their sanity sound like the best deal of all. Very funny and needs to be read with a certain perspective | Customer Rating: | This is a funny book no doubt. Its not written by writers and thus there is no rules of writing that have been followed which makes it funny.
Even though some have said the life style is exaggerated (and maybe it is) but unless you are an I banker or part of the fraternity in some way, there is no way to denounce what has been written about the profession.
I really think that while being a cautionary tale for fledging IBankers, this book is also a testament to the hard times they spend in pursuing their dreams. Some have the balls to go through to the end while others (like the authors) bail out when they cant take it anymore.
In any case, this is a laugh a minute book with some witty writing. Reading it was a breeze ! | Trip to investment banking | Customer Rating: | | The book is very easy and funny to read. Authors shows things in investment bank very trully. Very interesting to read for people who is going to become an investment banker. | Supremely Funny | Customer Rating: | This is a serious book that just happens to be supremely funny.
Highly recommended. | "Monkey Business" review | Customer Rating: | | very funny, vivid and true to life description of the life of an associate in the investment company, highly recommended for those who work in investment banking and allied industries, you won't regret spending some time on reading this book! | Great Read For Aspiring Investment Bankers | Customer Rating: | For those interested in investment banking, this is a good book to read. It gives an in depth(and very personal view)of investment banking on Wall Street. Very witty, satirical and critical. Positives: Very informative, insightful. Book is hard to put down. Negatives: Some parts are long-winded. Authors so obviously despise Wall Street that their negative accounts of W.S. lose credibility Overall, the book is a great read for those interested in I.B. |
