Summary: Need I Say More?
Comment: One of the poorest excuses for a novel I've ever read. I would've given it a two or three based on the merits of the sound financial background the author possessed, but it was so awful a piece of fiction I couldn't do it.
The dialogue was awful, as was the plot. The characters were shallow and boring, especially his main characters. But worst of all was its conclusion. For example, you learn on the last page of the book that the killer wasn't really a woman, or a man, I forget because I was rushing to the bathroom to gag.
A truly awful book. Don't waste your time or money on this one.
P.S. I just thought of one good thing: at least it was relatively short.

Summary: Great Time Capsule!!!
Comment: Read this book in about 10 years. It's a great "finance" culture guide for the year 2000. many current event references.
The book isn't great because it's not a intro to finance book that it's tries to be and also not a great mystery novel. It tries to be both but doesn't accomplish either.
The mystery novel aspect is weak and seems to end in a hurry without much explantion or reason. It's almost as though he needed to fill a certain amount of pages and realized he was there and needed to end quickly.
The finance part is weak also. The main character tries to explain finance and the stock market to his young (attractive) assistant. Although it comes off as the annoying person in work(school) who is always trying to proove how smart he/she is.
Entertaining but light. Perhaps a good beach book!!!
Rating: 5
Summary: Hilarious, Educational and on the Money
Comment: Niederman's book is riveting. In addition to providing an entertaining plot, the author continuously weaves in amusing pop culture references. I finished the book three days ago and I still can't get the Joey Buttafuoco reference out of my head.
"A Killing on Wall Street" also manages to explain, in an entertaining way, the basic workings of public investments and Wall Street. Furthermore, the book provides a cynical but basically correct picture of the real motivations of the analysts, investment bankers, money managers, public company presidents and the other Wall Street characters.
