The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron by Bethany McLean, Peter Elkind

informative reflective slow-paced

4.5

Very very good account of the Enron scandal. The definitive book on it, I'd say (having not read any others). (I watched the eponymous documentary almost a decade ago but didn't remember anything about it.)

At times, it got a little too slow or confusing (so many people!!), but I'm not sure if I can really blame the authors for this, as it was a complex thing! Given that, they did do so well to break it all down and overall I loved the detail.

Also, just wild what went on! Absolutely wild!
