Cleaning Up : One ManÂ’s Redemptive Journey Through the Seductive World of Corporate Crime

Rating:
Summary: A classic in the making
Review: Nonfiction never read so well! Minkow reveals a combination of strength and vulnerability that can only come from having gone through hell and back. Cleaning Up is no ordinary tale of why crime doesn't pay, but an exciting adventure that page by page draws the reader further in. Clever writing of an intriguing story makes one wonder...who will get to play him in the movie?

Summary: If you read one book in 2005 make it Cleaning Up!
Review: Rarely do I read autobiographies where the author so honestly discloses his past and current flaws. Cleaning Up is a story that will inspire, encourage and motivate those who have failed--even to the point of prison. The book reads like a movie and no doubt one will shortly follow. It is the perfect gift to inspire a loved one or friend who has just suffered a huge set back.

One more thing. I am easily bored and yet I could not put the book down and finished it in two sittings. The book has such continuity and is very well written. The publisher should offer a money back guarantee on this one and would have no takers!

Summary: Awesome come-back story
Review: The book really shows that no matter how bad things get for you, there is always hope. What a great come-back story. In this post-Enron world, it's nice to see a bad guy turned good How amazing that things turned out so well for him. Remember, no matter how bad things are for you...someone always has it worse! Barry proves that you can fail and still turn out ok.

Summary: An unduplicadable story. The best I've read in years...
Review: This book is not a business book. It is not a how to identify fraud book. It is not a book that lectures to those is corporate America on ethics. What is it? The most inspiring book I have read in years. If there are still doubts in your mind about whether or not people can change, Cleaning Up once and for all will prove to you that people can change and in the case of Barry Minkow thousands of would be investors would be a lot poorer if he hadn't!
