Super interesting. The offer does a really good job of explaining the economics of a bubble well also making it simple enough to understand and enjoyable to listen to. You understand how the bubble came to be and why it matters and how it impacts every major player in the story. The story starts when Ty Warner was a kid and goes all the way through to his 70's with updates on old characters.
The writing is a little weak in a few places but its told in a format that allows the story to unfold as if its currently happening with plenty of quotes and interviews so it balances well.

in. credible. I was so surprised by how engrossing this book became. the life of Ty Warner was a horror, just as he became a horror himself. the author is so clever reporting on this megalomaniac and wrote a book that kept me riveted for 8 hours straight.
