Summary: Cant Wait to see who plays in the Movie Version!!!
Review: This book shows what investment bankers deal with everyday. Also that going on you own to start your own business can be very hard. Best Quote in the Book "I never should have quite Microsoft" BANG BANG...

Summary: A fun, quick read about a conspiracy on Wall Street.
Review: This is a fun, fast-paced book about a hotshot investment banker who becomes a puppet in the dealings of a conspiracy of high-placed Harvard alumni known as the Seven. The depiction of Wall Street is pretty amusing, but not too badly off-target. I liked it in that it was never boring and quickly moved from scene to scene, although it did get a bit unreal in places.

Summary: great
Review: This was the first business thriller I read and it has hooked me. I found myself on the edge of my chair through the whole book. Never knowing what was going to happen up to the end. Keep it up Steven.

Summary: Very disappointing.
Review: Trite. Predictable. Poorly written. A fairly decent premise, but miserably written. The writer must have gone to Yale. I can't believe it was sold to a movie studio. The conspiracy stuff will only sell to the nuts. Also unrealistic on the money side. If he thinks people can be bought for such small sums, he's really nuts.

Summary: Good quick read
Review: Unlike some recent reviewers, I enjoyed this book. The plot is a little far fetched but believable and the characters held my interest. I'd call this a Grisham on Wall Street and not Ludlum. In Ludlum the arch villian turns out to be someone who was the 4th in a card game on page 132 and that wasn't the case here. I read this while on vacation and would read other books by the author for the same purpose.

Summary: Excellent book about Wall Street
Review: What a terrific novel! After I read this, I promptly devoured the rest of his books. All great, except for "The Legacy." Please, Mr. Frey, go back to Wall Street. I don't think I'm exaggerating to say this is one of my favorite novels. It is a riveting read. How can it help but be when you go right onto the floor of the NYSE during a free fall? (I prefer free falls in novels, thank you very much. It can still be gut wrenching and your financial statement doesn't suffer)! I am always eager for a new novel by Mr. Frey. Keep up the great work.

Summary: awfully trite plot and incompetent prose
Review: Where to begin? Decent premise. A Wall Street conspiracy wants to bring down the President of the United States because he intends to tax inheritances. The huge corporate takeover of the title is just a part of the scheme. But the twists and turns of the plot turn out to be both too complicated (taken as a whole) and too predictable(considered separately) -- you could see the punches coming a mile away. Also, the prose style is deadly, as if Frey's day job is writing prospectuses. At a singles bar, "Falcon politely declines a buxom blond woman who asked him to dance. She was pretty, but his mind remained full of the beautiful girl with the dark eyes. He watched the blonde return to the dance floor as he brought the scotch to his lips. It was his sixth drink in the last three hours." This guy even makes sex seem boring. That is bad prose!
