An excellent writer, an excellent read

Nancy Goldstone is a fine writer, one who paces her prose well, composes clear sentences, and uses language effectively. This book is a must read for anyone interested in Wall Street who doesn't know a put from a call (!), but wants to be eased gently into this world. She details her improbable ascent of the trading ladder (she has nil trading experience but while in her mid-twenties she is chosen to run a major bank's options desk, and does so successfully) with aplomb. I've been reading this title over my recent lunch hours, and I am always annoyed when my hour ends and I must close the book's covers! Her adeptness with literary technique makes me wish she'd try her hand at fiction.
