Summary: Howard Lutnick: Hero? Certainly a Great Man!
Comment: First of all "On Top of the World" would not have been able to have been written if Howard Lutnick had died on September 11, 2001. Cantor-Fitzgerald, as a viable company, would have died along with its 658 employees. The fact that Mr. Lutnick lived and; despite the loss of his beloved brother and most of his best friends, was able to figure out a way to bring CF and the remaining NY/England employees and systems together to save the company in JUST TWO DAYS were just outstanding. I probably would crawled into a corner for months. The book is very sad reading because of the magnitude of personal loss endured. Don't expect a happy, carefree ending. The fact that Mr. Lutnick has kept his promises and sometimes had to go above the montary amount to keep these promises shows the man has integrity despite his "reputation" on the Street. He also kept CF a viable company for his surviving employees. Good for you Mr. Lutnick, your wife, your sister, your friends and to Mr. Barbash for writing your story.

Summary: A very compelling and tragic story of loss and recovery.
Comment: Before 9/11, I had never heard of Harold Lutnick, let alone Cantor Fitzgerald. From that day forward, Cantor Fitzgerald has been ingrained into my head forever. I did not want to put this book down. The story is told by Harold Lutnick and his friend Tom Barbash as well as a few surviving Cantor employees. The beginning of the book is a lot to take in; it was like reliving 9/11 all over again. Out of 1000 employees, Cantor lost over 600 people. After a few media interviews, Howard was made out to be a horrible person. He stopped paying all deceased and missing employees right away. He did this so that the company could survive and pay money to the families of the survivors. Many people actually questioned whether his tears were phony or not. Some parts of this book were difficult to comprehend. A lot of people seemed to be more concerned with money than anything else. This is a must read for everyone.
Rating: 5
Summary: A moving tale about courage and hope
Comment: When September 11, 2001 began No one would know the evil that they were going to witness that day. By the end of that day company Cantor Fitzgeral would face the heavyest losses with nearly 700 employees gone. "On top of the world" by Tom Barbash, takes a inside look at the days,weeks,and months as CEO Howard Lutnick and remaining staff trys to move foward for the families of lost employees.
This is really good book that show each of us as human and our quest to help others.
