John Midas is a financial genius. For years he's made a killing on the stock market. He's one of the richest men on earth; on Wall Street, he's a legend. The only thing he loves more than money is his daughter, who lives a simple life away from his gold-plated world. Now Midas has his eye set on Brazil and its currency-but fate may not let him pull off his scheme without extracting a steep price.

4.5 rounded up.

This will be a challenge if you're the type that needs to clearly understand exactly what's going on and don't have solid finance/economics knowledge because the strategies used in the stock markets throughout are intense. I loved figuring it out but it took me quite some time to grasp the subtleties futures trading in currency which was new to me.

I enjoyed the art and appreciated that his ending breaks off to the sides of the obvious conclusions.

I can suspend disbelief that a person can fly before I will concede the possibility that a person who wears a tall, wide, heavy and blinding ring failed to realize that both the large gold nugget and spectacular diamond mounted next to each other on a gold band had been missing for a few days. How could you NOT notice when washing your hands or in bed as your hand comes in contact with sheets and pillows. Other people in your life who can't help worshiping it daily with their gaze would notice them missing immediately. The guy knows how to make billions better than he knows the back of his hand!

Tout ce blabla sur la bourse et les gens qui font du fric sur les brouses et la valeur des sous ça me rend malade et ça devrait pas exister.
L'histoire est classique et toutes ces magouilles c'est ce que je déteste le plus au monde. Pas intéressée.

Reading the English translation; when Cinebook republished, they rearranged the order of the titles, moving Lust from 4th to 7th place among the eight books.
