This is an imaginative story but it was the quality of narration that makes this audiobook stand out. I have never heard my kids (under 10) laugh out loud this much — and we listen to a lot of books. Really brought the story to life.

Like many of my favorite Michael Lewis books (Moneyball, Flash Boys) this book weaves together an interesting narrative and a healthy amount of information on a complex story with numerous moving parts. The stories of the young players and the evolution of the Qatari program are enriched by Abbot’s explanations of the data behind football recruitment strategies, etc, and readers like myself — who know the sport well but don’t live and breathe professional soccer outside parts of the World Cup — will likely be much more knowledgeable about and interested in the game after having read this book. I enjoyed it so much, I am buying it for close friends and relatives who are European league fans.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Lewis explains the mechanics of the economic crisis extremely well for people with no background in finance. As a result, readers surely understand what happened far better than most subprime mortgage bond and derivative traders did before the big crash. This is also a very well-told story. Fascinating characters -- heroes, villains, and oddballs -- and an excellent build-up to a satisfying climax and epilogue. The book was so interesting, I read it again about a year later -- and enjoyed it just as much the second time.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dr. Mike Burry is one of my favorite heroes of all time, but what makes this book so special is the host of rich characters like Greg Lippmann and Wing Chau. You might not trust them, but they are wonderful subjects for Lewis's narrative.

What about Jesse Boggs’s performance did you like?

I loved Jesse Boggs's deadpan delivery of character lines that were both classic in their ironic humor and revealing about the characters themselves. The effect was much funnier than if he'd tried to sound like it was a comedy.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed several times throughout the book, even more frequently the second time around.
