5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic read; great story.
By d&p on July 12, 2010
Format: Hardcover
I highly recommend this book--it is a fun read, and you'll learn a lot too about the nexus of entrepreneurialism and Wall Street. And, if you don't like non-fiction, just read it as if it is a novel...it is that well-written and easy to read! Randall Lane has done a marvelous job of capturing the phenomenon of financial and business bubbles, not only on Wall Street but in entrepreneurialism as well. The Zeroes is a thriller of a book, it reads like a novel, its story--though true--feels like fiction, with well-drawn characters, extreme in personality, risk-taking aggressiveness and ambition. Anyone who has or hopes to start a business - selling your business idea, attracting trustable partners, enticing paying customers, finding reliable and continuous funding--will find Lane's tale an excellent and easily-read primer on how to do so, and how difficult, disruptive and crazy it can be. What Lane does so well is to tie together Wall Street's latest over-investment bubble (ie, over-investing in real estate via packages of securitized mortgages) with the celebritized magazine business that he was attempting to build on the coattails of the Wall Street high-rollers and high-spenders who created--and benefitted from--that bubble. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 starsA Fly On The Walls of Wall Street
By Melvile on July 7, 2010
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book yesterday afternoon and spent the entire night until 4 am reading it. This book manages to put the entire horrific decade in perspective. It is a really great read by a journalist/publisher who was in the middle of it all, but not rich himself. But he got caught up in the greed, and the desire to make a fortune and was destroyed financially along with so many of us. And he admits it. But man can Lane write. It's like being a fly on the wall in the homes of financial wizards, movie stars, athletes and artists. I was appalled but fascinated. And disgusted that it keeps going even after the decade of the Zeroes. Maybe there's a morality tale to be learned.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Lives of the Rich and Famous
By Judy on July 2, 2010
Format: Hardcover
The Zeroes has an incredible number of anecdotes and stories of people in and out of the financial world. John Travolta, Al Gore, John McCain, Diana Ross, Peter Max for starters. Usually a book of this scope is not well written, but Lane is an exceptionally colorful writer. I couldn't put the book down!

5.0 out of 5 starsHighly Entertaining
By Brian Dawson on July 4, 2010
Format: Hardcover
As the title says, highly entertaining -- on the other hand, I worked at Doubledown for its entire existence, so I'm biased. Then again, everyone's biased about Randall Lane these days, in one direction or another. I started the book not knowing what to expect; I stayed up late for a week to finish it. It's extremely readable, often quite funny and very illuminating both about the perils of running a small business you're rapidly trying to make bigger and about a extremely peculiar period in the financial history of the U.S. Take my sentiments with the requisite skepticism. But if you want an insightful potted history of a very bizarre economic decade whose excesses we will be dealing with for a long, long time, "The Zeroes" would not be a bad place to start. Doubledown Media as metaphor for Wall Street idiocy in the 2000s: Hey, I was there. Works for me.

5.0 out of 5 starsLoved, loved, LOVED this book!
By Joanne M. Friedman on May 28, 2011
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Not sure what to expect when I popped this in the CD changer, but my interest was piqued almost immediately. So very much has been written about the causes of the economic meltdown (some very badly), that I was a little concerned that this might be just another rehash. I was wrong.

I'm a financial person, so I felt a special curiosity, but anyone who has lately held a dollar in his hand and watched it kind of melt into small change will want to read this accounting of the years between 2000 and 2010 in the world of finance. And a bit of a scary world it is. Several times I found myself replaying a section because I really thought I'd been on top of all this when it was happening, only to hear that there were so many more levels that I wasn't aware of that I was a mere tyro. I had to listen again to make sure I heard it right. Randall Lane had an insider's view of the incredible tangle on Wall Street that left huge chunks of the population here and around the world wondering what the hell happened.

The book is eminently readable (or listenable, if, like me, you're an audiobook addict). Lane is a gifted wordsmith. It's one of those books that had me pulling into parking lots to sit and listen more closely to one chapter or another. If it's possible to call a finance tell-all "rollicking", then this one is just that. Just as reality did, the author just slides seamlessly from one epic piece of bad judgment on the parts of his fellow Wall Streeters and doesn't leave himself out of the cross-hairs.

If you have any interest in a comprehensible summary of what happened to your retirement fund, you're going to want this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsA different perspective on a crazy time
By Don McGowan on December 31, 2010
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
There have been many books written about the financial boom and subsequent bust. The Zeroes stands out because it was written by someone who was paid to chronicle the events while they were happening. Lamb ran a magazine that spent the boom years by writing profiles of the boom years. As a result he can look back on the things he himself said when he himself was saying them and contrast those with how they ended up working out. I bought this book because it actually discusses someone with whom I have had to do business, and I've found the description in the book to be helpful in understanding my dealings with them, so have some backup for saying that this book gives a clear picture of the people and personalities involved in these crazy times.
