The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis
3.0
Debated a bit on the rating.
I found the premise interesting, as well as the beginning of the book. Unfortunately it dragged a bit for me in the middle chapter, before picking up again and getting much more detailed and interesting in the end.
But, I have to say I personally found this one less enjoyable and compelling than his other works I have read.
Perhaps the various stories were less focused in this? Maybe it's that there seems to be less resolution, or less reason to the stories (quite possible as this government is still playing out)? Not sure, but in the end I had to rate this one a little down from the others. Still a good read.
