MainStreet.com posted a piece today on the upside of unemployment.  As I intimated in my Book I was at least temporarily unemployed at some point after Barclays scooped up Lehman.  The article talks a bit about my writing of the book is the product of having time to focus.  While meant in good fun, the article speculates that the book was an opportunity for me to vent or rant.  Clearly, the reporter had not read the book.  With one notable exception, the professional reviews have all been positive, and have generally noted that my telling is balanced, humanizes the firm, lets no one off the hook, but also has no ax to grind.

Lehmanites.com, the Lehman alumni website, perhaps not the most high-profile of reviewers, but certainly one very familiar with events at Lehman had the following to say:
      "The book is particularly valuable because it presents a more human figures of what has become the symbol of this financial crisis without trying to settle personal accounts."
