Harlequin, 2008

I loved this book!
This is the first book I've read by this author, and I absolutely loved it! I think I must have read a different book than the other two who reviewed this, and must say I was shocked by the low ratings. This to me is a classic Harlequin Presents. Pure fantasy. I never took the heroine as a sex crazed gold digger or bimbo at all. Both of them just seemed swept up by each other and just enjoyed ...

The Last Tycoons: The Secret History of Lazard Frères & Co.

23 reviews
William D. Cohan

Broadway, 2008

From a different age
With extensive access to all players involved (except one, who declined to be interviewed) William D Cohan does a marvelous job in recounting the history of a bank from another time and the history of investment banking right into the 1990s. When reading the book I could not escape the feeling that Lazard was almost run like a personal fiefdom of the David-Weills with a few `stars' like Andre ...

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Scribner, 1995

There will never be another F. Scott Fitzgerald
No other author in history has so astutely penned such profound and sublime novels with such amazing social insight as has Scottie(as his contemporaries called him) - all the while doing it with such amazing and unparalleled grace and lucidity. While The Love of the Last Tycoon may not be finished, I can easily discern that F. Scott was well on his way to achieving his goal -penning a novel on ...

Holt Paperbacks, 2006

Great summary of Economic History
This is a great book for looking at the economic history of the United States. It covers mostly the four mentioned in the title but what was really fantastic and what deserves that extra star is that it covers the economic developments on the side. It looks at how our economy outpace Europe and the shift to make America that extra superpower. WE also have a look at how our ability to move west ...

The People's Tycoon: Henry Ford and the American Century

Steven Watts

Vintage, 2006

A massive work, with threads of the story sometimes tricky to follow
Here was this supreme industrial genius, Henry Ford, with a dark side which was hard to understand. Do read the two professional reviews above. They cover some very good ground about this book between them. Beware that, like many overly-highbrow reviewers, both are guilty of the "but" syndrome: they will tell you that Henry Ford was the premier genius of the 20th century, BUT his personality ...
