The book was like an autobiography of a grown child. In the beginning I thouhht this guy so full of himself. And only the fact that I don't usually do that made me continue. I must say that about half way through I really considered leaving this book unfinished. All in all I would say this is a must-read for anybody who is interested in our modern world of finance and politics, as it gives an insight to what goes on behind the scenes, and it also shows what one man with determination and perseverance can achieve. It made the whole experience of the book far more personal. I am glad that I bought the audible version of the book, as I particularly enjoyed listening to Bill Browder himself reading out the last chapter. The personal story of the author and his fight for justice for his friend, and his achievements in this fight were what made me cry on several occasions. Disbelief and amazement describe this part of the book. The background information about how the banking system and investment funds work is fascinating, and the insight into the Russian way of 'banking' and politics is eye-opening and downright scary. This book is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time, and far more than just a biography.
