Fantastic book, excellent introduction to the most famous names in the hedge fund world. Really good overview on the history of hedge fund strategies. Also, very clearly written and fun to read.

"...the art of good business, is being a good middle man, putting people togeather. It's all about honor and respect."
 

I will be buying this book based on the reviews on this site and various others. I have recently finished Hedge Fund Market Wizards, which I thought was also fantastic! Recommend to anyone who hasn't yet read it.

 

I'm 22 of 35 on the wait list for the 1 of 12 copies at NYPL. Bloomberg Radio had an interview with the author the other morning and the book sounded great. The author was telling some stories about the lives of different hedge fund managers and I found it intriguing.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
