Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-26 00:00:00 Loretta Roush Interesting true story of white collar fraud. I wonder if Madoff read this book to learn some tips on how to commit fraud. Here's an interesting quote: The company's lawyer is asked: "How many times would Goodman be allowed to commit frauds AND confess to them before the law firm would consider the crimes ongoing? In other words, How many bites at the apple would Myron Goodman get before past frauds became a continuing fraud for the purpose of professional responsibility?" The lawyer responded: "How large is the apple?" !!!!!!!!!! It's hard to tell who the bigger slimeball is, the crook or the lawyer.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-06-29 00:00:00 Jeremy Naidus This was a really good book. Very insightful. It seems to answer the question of nature vs nurture with a resounding, "Yes." There are certain talents you're born with, and some that can be developed to a certain point, but in the end who you are is who you are. To be successful you need opportunities that suit you as a person. It talks about the traits necessary to a successful entrepreneur and gives you a gage to see where you are. I loved it and will definitely be reading it again.
