The Big Short

It's time to throw another tank of petrol on the Wall Street pyre, as only Lewis can

Financial Times

He is so good everyone else may as well pack up

Evening Standard

No one writes with more narrative panache about money and finance than Mr. Lewis

Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

Probably the single best piece of financial journalism ever written

Reuters

Hugely entertaining

Economist

Terrifying and superbly told

Daily Telegraph

Genius

Sunday Times

Compelling and horrifying

A more than worthy successor to Liar's Poker ... if you want to know about the origins of the credit crunch, and the extraordinary cast of misfits, visionaries and chancers who made money from the crash, there's no more readable account

Daily Telegraph

A triumph ... riveting ... a genuine page-turner

Times

The very best book about this whole affair

John Lanchester, author of 'Whoops!'

If you read only one book about the causes of the recent financial crisis, let it be Michael Lewis's The Big Short

Washington Post

In the hands of Michael Lewis, anything is possible ... if you want to know how a nation lost its financial mind - and have a good laugh finding out - this is the book to read.

The Sunday Times

Magnificent ... a perfect storm of brilliant writer meeting big subject.

The Guardian
