Summary: Read it - you will enjoy it!
Review: I do not read many fiction books, but I was recommended to Trading Reality. I could not put it down. The characters were extremely believable, both in their thoughts, actions, and in their reactions to situations. I will not spoil the story line, but the ending was strong, yet a little predictable. This book was an excellent blend of bond trading (of which I know little) and computers (of which I know a bit more). It was also very thought provoking; just where will virtual reality take us? I shall certainly be reading other titles by this author. Go on read it, you will enjoy it.

Summary: A very good read
Review: I found Trading Reality to be very exciting and entertaining - from beginning to end. The plot is great and it's difficult to guess what's going to happen next. You constantly think you've worked it out only to realise that you've been had once again. I found the detailed descriptions of life in The City combined with the interesting world of high technology to be an excellent cocktail. Well written and definitely worth a try...

Summary: Not as Good as Free To Trade
Review: I like his writing very much, easy to read, and keeps you wanting to turn the pages, However, I did find this book a bit predictable. All the leads are laid into the book in a far to obvious way.

Summary: Ridpath has done it again!
Review: Strong and intelectualy stimulating second novel. Ridpath not only keeps you glued to your seat, but he makes you think as well. Ridpath is here to stay.

Summary: You won't be able to put it down! I couldn't.
Review: The best book I've read this year. If you are interested in computers, investing, and mysteries, this book should be at the top of your "To Read" list. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Less foreseeable than "Free to Trade" by Ridpath
Review: The book really keeps you up all night. It has less brokering stuff then "Free to Trade" what makes it even more interesting. Ridpath manages to combine the two areas of brokering and virtual reality but keeps it near real life. The classic ending of an english criminal story of gathering all suspects in one room to make the murderer reveale himself, is varied in a fascinating way.

Summary: Better than Frey but that's not saying much...
Review: This is my third try at reading a financial thriller, and so far I'm not impressed. Something about the blandness of the financial world goes badly with conventional, creaky thriller plots maybe. This is less financial than FREE TO TRADE and a lot better than the dreadful efforts of Mr Frey, but it still badly lacks an edge, or a sense of attack. It laps up the world of high finance with breathless enthusiasm (all those HUGE sums of money being moved around - how thrilling! Or is it?). The result is pretty flat and dull.
