I almost didn't get into this book...it was such a slow start and filled (at first) with details about the financial industry that bored me to tears, even though I sensed it was a setup for the rest of the book. I abhor info dumps in books so I was mildly annoyed by this. However, I stuck through it and when the book brought all the pieces together and it got interesting, I was hooked. I can't wait to see the movie now!

i tried to listen to this on tape - and i really didn't like it. Then i saw the print version at the library and thought i would give it a whirl.

I'm hoping that this is ameliorated in

Eh. Interesting, but a little too graphically violent for my taste.
I thought this book started out slow, but by the end I was totally sucked in and stayed up late to finish it. The tone is a little strange -- kind of cold and removed, but if you make it through the first part of the book the story does become really enthralling. I am interested to read the other books by this author.
