Based on the title, I was hoping for more insight into either Bernanke or the Fed as an institution. Instead, it's more of a general narrative on the financial crisis, and it works well as such, but I would have liked to get more detail on, for example, Bernanke's work in academia prior to joining the Fed.

Entertaining, but very melodramatically written.

This really hit home for me, having grown up as the child of an addict. The circumstances were different, but it captured the anxiety, the worrying, the way I could never enjoy the good moments because I didn't know if they were real or how long they would last. It was a hard read, but there was beauty in the pain.

I would have been too frightened to read this before January 20, but glad now that I did.

Sheesh, that was depressing. How are they gonna make this into a movie without everyone wanting to jump off a bridge after they leave the theater?
