Summary: This book is for mental midgets
Comment: This book has very little redeeming value. I put it down 3/4 of the way through, because I felt it was an insult to my intelligence.
Andy Keesler should be ashamed of himself for portraying a life of drinking binges and trashing hotel rooms as decent behavior. Hopefully, this book and Kessler will fade away quickly.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Read Anytime
Comment: I just finished Wall Street Meat along with Moneyball by Michael Lewis. I enjoyed both tremendously. Easy to read, yet very informative. Key to book, always look for pitch of who's coming on to you because it's there. Enjoy the book for what it's worth; a great lesson in how business and people have behaved for 1000's of years and will continue to behave; with greed and their own interests at heart. Super examples and great story telling.

Summary: Market Perform
Comment: "Wall Street Meat" succeeds on the same level that an unauthorized biography might - full of juicy gossip and scandalous detail, but decidedly lacking as an example of literary prowess. Kessler's writing style beguiles the intellectual perspicacity of a former II-ranked analyst. Conceptual explanations are incomplete, choppy and irritatingly uneven. Perhaps owing to an inferior publisher or the author's own carelessness, errors pepper the text and grow to an annoying distraction by the book's end.
Equating "Meat" to "Liar's Poker" is silly and bewildering. Kessler's hackneyed (and sometimes misplaced) metaphors never approach Lewis' sinewy prose. And "Meat" pours through each saucy detail dripping with the author's bitterness; "Poker" adroitly eschewed such crudeness.
Still for all its faults, "Meat" delivers a gripping tale of life as a research analyst in the previous two decades. For the uninitiated Kessler provides a fairly accurate (albeit simple) explanation of the structural defects and inherent conflicts in much of Wall Street research.
