3.83 AVERAGE


I read this ten years ago and don't remember a single thing about it.

I would probably give this one 3.5 stars if I could.

I liked this a lot. The story was very engaging, especially since you know it is a true story. And I spent the entire novel wondering whether or not Whitacre was a good guy or not cause I seriously was just waiting for him to flip out or something. haha

I recommend it and I kind of want to see the movie version now.

So much filler that I gave up.

WOW! This incredibly true tale of Mark Whitacre, a corporate executive, turning in his co-workers who were involved in price-fixing, is so amazing I wanted to read the almost 600 pages in one sitting. Alas, sleep, work, and baseball (my other great passion) kept me from achieving that, but now it is done! Kurt Eichenwald has awesome writing skills that will keep you wondering until the end; is Mark Whitacre for real? You won't find out from me - you've got to read this great book yourself!

In this non-fiction legal thriller, Marc Whitaker blows the whistle on Archer Daniels Midland's billion-dollar lysine price-fixing scheme. As he cooperates with the FBI, it becomes clear that he himself is guilty of criminal acts and is quite possibly mental ill as well.

Fantastic true story well told...but the narrator for the audio got on my nerves. I'd recommend print.
