 great info but hard to follow January 6, 2009

4 out of 6 found this review helpful
its a collection of articles written going back 20 years. there very informative, but some are very complicated and since most articles are by different authors and on similar subjects you end up reading the same information a few times.
 Extremely misleading January 3, 2009

As noted by others, this book is merely edited by Michael Lewis. It is a collection of articles by others. Clearly the author means to take advantage of his name recognition and trade on the economic uncertainty present today with the use of the title PANIC. Don't bother to read this.
 dense read but worth it December 28, 2008

this book will take you awhile to get thru as its dense reading with alot of detail. i have an advanced engineering degree, work in finance and this book still provided me insight into some basic math i was lacking and more importantly some of the big-picture details behind how we got here.
it was an enjoyable book i found satisfying but remember i have a capacity for detail to things many would find boring and dry.
 Amounts to a marginal blog post December 28, 2008

That'll teach me to pull the trigger before reading the reviews. I expected a Michael Lewis book and ended up with an interesting but extremely disjointed collection of articles that I could have found in 10 minutes on Google.
They rushed this thing out to capitalize on the ongoing crisis. It reminds me of the paperbacks that are cranked out in 2 weeks to take advantage of a sensational news story...only this one has 0 original content.

Tedious and boring. Thought this might be helpful in understanding what is happening today. Maybe for academics.
