It isn't often a student loves a textbook but I learned a lot and have enjoyed reading the case studies presented.

It took me so long to read this but I'm glad I did, it was a very interesting read.

This is a fantastic book to outrage people at the atrocities allowed by White Collar criminals. The research and detail put into explaining each and every scheme shows either extreme disgust or journalistic integrity. Probably both, actually.

In this textbook, you will learn about, not one scandal, but many. The less than honest players or business people outlined come in all shapes and sizes: young and old, male and female, shy and outgoing, powerful and not so powerful, etc.

A great deal about character or lack thereof in the business world is portrayed; the culprits are people one might never suspect, simply because they are beyond suspicion.

Excellent textbook in that it captured the readers interest with numerous examples of each type of fraud and crime that it describes. My only beef with this book was the shear number of examples, sometimes it seemed like the book was more interested in exposing all the nasties out there than moving on with the instruction.
