After reading Tardiveau's review, I can hardly guess why the book would be considered "spellbinding." So far to me it just sounds like a crybaby account of how people on Wall Street are greedy and unrelenting in their quest for closing a big deal. Wow--talk about a blinding flash of the obvious--in my opinion, someone's gotta do their job.
There's no doubt that there are most likely interesting sections, but I highly doubt it is any more "spellbinding" than Glengarry Glen Ross, Barbarians at the Gate or even the movie Boiler Room.
Hell, you can buy a Dell for around $600 that comes with a 17" flatscreen LCD. I'd rather carry that around on my back than pay $550 for any Pocket PC.

Too many video games will cloud your mind--is it me or is this not really news?
