Sorkin begins Too Big to Fail ingeniously. This is high praise coming from an author who has covered much of the same territory. And while I must admit that my interest waned slightly over the last hundred pages or so, for most of Sorkin’s ride I was fixated. Indeed, so detailed is this account that at times I wondered whether the author’s telling of concurrent events actually consumed more time than the events themselves. Too Big to Fail is by far the most detailed blow-by-blow account of the days that changed America’s financial landscape forever, and the narrative is both immediately engaging and propulsive. Sorkin has assembled, with the assistance of a team of researchers, what many regard as the definitive financial crisis book. As the author of another book primarily or wholly focused on Lehman Brothers ( OTC:LEHMQ) I was pleased by the promise of finally sharing the space with a quality writer. I greatly anticipated the release of Sorkin’s book.
