4.0

A great read, though very uneven. I had a really hard time following the general chronology between chapters; Lewis skips around quite a bit to focus on the key players. And after a compelling first chapter, chapter two almost lost me entirely. I would have liked a little more post-crash climax, but in general, Lewis does a great job of simplifying the unnecessarily complicated (and unnecessarily greedy) hell that was housing market crisis. A great read that has me considering the earlier "Liar's Poker".
