This book has definitely earned its Pulitzer!
I saw a few comments and reviews from others who thought this book was too boring, which I found disheartening. While I agree that the topic of this book might not be for everyone, I disagree in saying this book is boring.
Firstly, I have to immediately give kudos and praise for Hernan Diaz's writing style in this book. I was intrigued at how the book was going to be in the beginning half, but once I made it to the third inner-book, I was hooked. Fascinating, intriguing and a masterful form of storytelling.
Second, anyone who has the ability to make the stock market and financing interesting deserves all of the praise in the world. I'm still confused as to how this book was actually able to make me interested in the financial world. Amazing!
Finally, this book is absolutely though provoking and insightful. Deep, philosophical views into the world of money, love, relationships and the physical world around us. How do we, and society at large, think about the physical symbols of these ethereal concepts?
I can't say enough good things about this book and how much it has made me think. Bravo, Diaz!
