Review by Melissa Tang for Diary of a Very Bad Year: Confessions of an Anonymous Hedge Fund Manager
Rating:
I don’t follow the news very much, just episodes of Daily Show that let me know the general state of the world. So I knew next to nothing about the causes and implications of the financial meltdown or the rationale of the bailout. I picked this book up because I liked the interview format and thought I could learn a little. It turned out to be an amazing read: it was fairly easy to understand, both the interviewer and interviewee were likable, and it gave me a lot of insight into the financial world. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand more about what happened with the economy, but find other, denser books too daunting.

This was a great book. Very informative from the perspective of a seemingly objective financial expert. It’s a long interview conducted over a few years, so it makes it very easy to read. With the amount of info conveyed, as a non-finance guy, I did not find it to be overwhelmingly academic at all, even though I learned a tremendous amount of new information.
Review by Neurasthenic for Diary of a Very Bad Year: Confessions of an Anonymous Hedge Fund Manager

This book far surpasses the expectations set by its simple premise — a series of interviews of an unnamed hedge fund manager who specialized in trading emerging market debt through the financial crisis of 2008. No secrets are revealed about the inner workings of the global financial system, and the factual content of the book can be found elsewhere. This book is great not because it explains a credit crunch, or how to trade bonds or manage portfolio risk (it doesn’t even attempt to do these latter things), but because it provides an intelligent, funny, highly opinionated synthesis of far-reaching finance, economics, and even philosophy. Many readers will disagree with points made by the anonymous hedge fund manager who holds court in these pages, but I think any reader would benefit from the internal dialog with him we have while reading.
The end of the book, after the crisis is over, is not as compelling as the first part of the text. However, even the first 100 pages more than justifies the cost of the book and the time spent reading it.

read this book in one sitting, liked it a lot, couldnt put it down. The style of this guy’s writing is pretty enjoyable, and you feel almost bad for the ‘anonymous’ hedge fund manager (until you realize that he made a ton of money from his hedge fund over his career) as things go from bad to worst. but since he’s mostly an emerging market trader you dont blame him too much for missing the full scale of the crisis.

This is a much more amusing and accessible format for the whole banking crisis than the big books that the NYTimes likes to review.
