Fox provides a critical link in the Enron story by focusing on a company history. This book is not really the story of Lay, Skilling and Fastow and the fall of Arthur Anderson. This is a book on how Enron the company rose to prominence and fell just as quickly.

I officially give up on this book. It is terrible, I know. But it simply doesn't hold my interest long enough for me to make any progress. I declare it - done.
