    A bit too focused on the math for my liking. I appreciated the human stories, but needed more of that.

    Insightful! This book does a great job of showing how groupthink and arrogance can lead to disaster.

    While well-written, some chapters felt repetitive. Overall, it’s a solid analysis of risk management gone wrong.

    Good background on LTCM but sometimes hard to keep up with all the players and trading strategies.

  15. Ved Himanshu Patel –

    A compelling read about LTCM’s downfall. Lowenstein breaks down complex finance, but it can get dense. Good cautionary tale.

    Fascinating account of hubris on Wall Street. A bit dry at times, but ultimately worth the read to understand risk.
