Too bad no one learned from it and this abhorrent greed ...

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 10, 2017

This is a book that I've long wanted to read but never got around to it so I finally bought it. I was impressed at the depth of research and timeline detail of this whole RJR Nabisco saga and the greed involved. Too bad no one learned from it and this abhorrent greed came home to roost once again again in 2008 and will likely happen again.

Boring. Wish it was more of a non-fiction about LBO’s instead of a fiction format with boring characters and (lack of) action...

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 29, 2020

I really hated this book. Really boring. Read it from reco’s on Tim Ferris podcast. Thought it would be more non-fiction docu style. Turned out to be basically a fiction type format but all the characters are the same and the action in the entire book is old men sitting around conference room tables being pissy with each other about millions of dollars. Really don’t know why this is a recommended book, if anyone enjoyed this I would love to know why?

Unreadable

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on March 2, 2023

This book is an endless concatenation of fragmented tales, anecdotes, and conversations, mostly of which are completely irrelevant to RJR Nabisco's fall. It's repetitive and lacks structure. It seems to me that the authors don't know the difference between writing a book and stacking information.

Book good, supplier bad

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 8, 2022

The book is falling apart, the pages come out after reading them and the print is off. Book is good and I Can it, but unlikely anyone else will be able to afterwards because the pages are all loose.

Drags on

Drags on for ages. Too much detail of the history of the previous companies and the directors involved. I gave up in the end.

Inhalt top, Harper Taschenbuchausgabe mies

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on March 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

Der Inhalt ist top, gar keine Frage. Allerdings ist die Taschenbuchausgabe von Harper Business (ISBN 9780061655555) qualitativ absolut schlecht. Das Druckmaterial scheint dünnes Altpapier zu sein. Es ist gräulich, reißt einfach ein und ist leicht wellig. Das Papier ist höchstens zum Abwischen zu gebrauchen, in Zeiten von Corona und Mangel an richtigem Toilettenpapier immerhin eine eiserne Reserve.
