"Good read not quite as gripping as barbarians at the gate and less character development. Kinda shows how tough it is to build real value and also how if short term profits are high enough, folks don't worry about long term effects as they don't care."
"Very well writen study of the rise and fall of Enron. Not only was the book easy and fun to read, but Mclean does a fabulous job of explaining the complicated Enron fraud to a non-finance person like myself. I feel like I understand so much more about recent corporate fraud having read this book."
"Everyone knows Enron collapsed, everyone knows they were crooks, but the real story is so complicated and almost no one knows the actual details of the fraud. As opposed to Worldcom and Tyco where the frauds were actually relatively simple (capitalizing expenses instead of booking them) Enron was a massive scheme where its hard to say any one person knew just how extensive but very easy to say everyone (and I mean every single employee) knew something was going on. This book breaks it down in a very relatable human story."
"Interesting, well-written, and surprisingly readable given the financial detail, this book had me saying, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?" time after time. It's just un-freaking-believable how convoluted their whole system was, and how people KNEW that something was fishy outside of Enron but were complicit in the deceiving due to large profits. This is a really great read, both for its telling of the Enron fiasco, and for its insight into modern American financial systems."
