The entertainment value that Mezrich puts into his books is what makes them...even though the ending of this one was a little ho hum. This book tells the rags to riches story of a bunch of guys from Queens & Brooklyn who make it big trading oil on the Merc Exchange in NYC, specifically following main character David Russo, a guy in his early 20's who helps develop an oil exchange in Dubai by seducing skeptics with the lavish excess Dubai has to offer. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/229744?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
