Eh. Its very light on details, and while it tells you where its going all the time, it never gets into as much detail as it could. For instance, the book never gets into what Consumer Credit (the company Sandy Weil and Dimon turned into Citigroup) actually did - did they have credit cards? Store cards? Finance auto loans? It was described that they were involved in credit for consumers, but what doesn't that cover? I have no idea.

Friends of the HHI Library store. Fits my profile, biographies of interesting people. Kind of a puff piece from a Jammie Dimon fan. The business, politics and regulatory nonsense makes me very happy that I am retired and don't have to deal with those things much any more.

Ms. Crisafulli writes with almost breathless adoration and there is little in this book that is not available from clippings in the WSJ, other papers, and company reports.

This book is phenominal not simply because it is about a businessman who brought a company from good to great, but it doubles as an amazing leadership "fable" that everyone should have on their shelves along next to Patrick Lencioni's books.

Not a criticism in this book so you might think it is unbalanced but I don't. We need a hero for our age and Dimon has integrity and shutzpa to lead with bravery. It is an easy to understand light history of the happenings of Wall Street.
