The author takes a lot of time to make readers familiar with the bond trading process in an easily digestible format. The characters in this book, chiefly Gross and then El-Arian, kept me engaged. Well worth your time.

1.0 out of 5 stars A hit piece on Bill Gross
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on May 8, 2022
Verified Purchase
Reads like an afternoon TV soap opera. The author begrudgingly occasionally points out
the success of Bill Gross, but gleefully and repeatedly highlights the flaws of this successful man who built PIMCO.
The author knows nothing about finance and I learned nothing about markets or bonds from this book.
I read the whole book and then got rid of it. It is not a biography, it is a lurid critique of a successful man
by an author who obviously dislikes Bill Gross. If the author had put the title word "King" in quotation marks, it would be consistent with her veiled sarcasm about his success. I have never met Bill Gross, so I have no reason to defend him from this hit piece. Save your money, unless you like soap operas.

A little superficial. And why make fun of peopleโ€™s appearances? I guess because itโ€™s men itโ€™s still allowed?
