謀略上場

I like to read novels around finance.
It's okay, but quite wordy and the plot is predictable.
It tries to cover a lot with the characters having too much past history.
The finance part is okay, but there is not much around the details of the rogue IPO, it just jumps into the action part.
I would say the book is a bit more lengthy than it could be and it tries to cover too much.

Pretty wordy and predictable . Not sure I’d buy it again but I’d go if it was a movie. It could be a 400 pg book.

ok

Not his best work but still a good read. Heavy on the character development and it needed more expository on the business side.

As finance professional, I like reading novels based around my business. This book qualifies and has the added appeal of the popular 90s theme of IPOs on Internet assets. But then the author tried to throw in every other novel cliché. Let's make the successful business owner a former pilot. Don't forget the love interest with plenty of twists. And remember when you make a novel, Clancy's spy thrillers sell well so let's revisit a Russian theme as the bad guys. And make sure you kill plenty of people as that sells well also.
Eventually I realized I wasn't reading a novel based around a finance theme but a "novel cliché". Too much of anything eventually becomes boring. With this many subjects to cover, nothing can be developed fully. It's a fairly long, disjointed book that tries to do too much. I'd take a pass unless all of the subjects I mentioned above are really attractive to you.
