Storyline:

Too Big to Fail is actually a thriller about a time in America's financial history when our entire economy could have crumbled and almost did. Greed, the hunger for power, the hunger for money, and the lack of financial regulation all led to the financial collapse. You will see inside the egos of the cast of characters including the politicians involved. Some say that Sorkin writes with a "liberal bias" but I, as a reviewer, don't see that. He seems to write the facts based on an incredible level of documentation. I give the book 4 stars. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I thought the editing was poorly done. If you want to truly understand what happened when our financial system failed and the economy went into a deep recession because of it, read this book. At the end, you will be astonished and amazingly well-informed.
