For the love of money

I borrowed this book (thankfully didn't pay for it) based on the reviews and my interest in finance. I hoped it would be along the lines of Michael Lewis' books, but instead it seems to be a rather boring autobiography. The first half of the book barely mentions finance as it takes you through the author's extremely depressing childhood (struggling with domestic violence, being an identical twin, not being the 'right' weight etc).

If you like reading about the lives of individual traders and their entire backstory, then this might be a good book for you. If you want to read about trading, Wall Street, the financial markets etc. -even from the perspective of just one person - there are far better books out there.
