This review is from: The Company That Bought the Boardwalk: A Reporter's Story of Resorts International (Hardcover)

A compelling story of a company witha sleazy history. I read the book when it came out and can't remember the details other than that I really enjoyed it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read, June 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Company That Bought the Boardwalk: A Reporter's Story of Resorts International (Hardcover)

An interesting and quick read about an exciting story. However, although the book is highly entertaining for a reader curious about the origins and development of Resorts it does lack substance and detail. Many of the stories in the book are somewhat vague and appear to be included merely as a measure of sensationalism rather than to make a specific point. The main executives in the book could also have been described in more detail.
