A review by jessiehulena
Odds Against Tomorrow by Nathaniel Rich

2.0

Odds Against Tomorrow hooked me with its down the rabbit hole journey into the world of disaster forecasting. The first half of the story carried me along with the interesting concept - Mitchell’s unrelenting, frantic worst case scenarios and how he used these to terrify large corporations out of their money. However once the actual disaster hit, I completely lost interest.

If you (like me) are driven by believable, compelling characters – this book isn’t for you. The characters and their relationships didn’t grip me. Mitchell in particular fell flat and made it hard work to get to the end of the story.
