I have made it approximately half-way through this book and, unfortunately, I am going to have to throw in the towel. I rarely ever completely give up on a book and have therefore put into my "shelved" collection to be revisited at another time.

This book is divided up into four parts; a novel within a novel with an autobiography and some other something that I didn't get to. The first part was very good. It tells the story of a wealthy, reclusive business tycoon of the 1920's. He amasses his great wealth by mastering the early days of the stock exchange, being a veritable genius buying and selling on the market and surviving the great crash.

Then the book switches to part 2 which is written as a manuscript for another story. Apparently the autobiography of the character in the first part. By the time I reached the end of part two I just didn't really care anymore. I also found it very difficult to keep track of what was going and found myself to be easily distracted.

Due to the amount of positive reviews this book has received and the number of awards and accolades the author has received, I really feel like I will try to read "Trust" at another time.
