    This book is user friendly, well written and well thought out. It shows that Obama chose his Secretary of the Treasury very wisely. The detail is amazing, but not in the least boring. It reads like a novel. Geithner was the exact right man for the job, already skilled and savvy in the knowledge of how to go about rescuing nations from economic crisis. This is well worth the read and impressive. Geithner emerges as a very likable and admirable human being, who just happened to be in the right time and place to save us from Depression 2.0.

    Overall I really liked this book. While Tim Geithner is not an writer and his style is definitely not of a thriller, the portrait of the crisis from his view definitely contributes to the overall understanding of the financial crisis of 2008.
    This book should not be taken as “stand-alone” but read in the context of all the other ones out there about the crisis itself. It helps one to form their opinions in a clear and more fair way in my opinion.
    Finally, this book also help show that the work of the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and other institutions that prevented the crisis relied on countless individuals who never get recognized for their hard work and countless hours helping make this country better. My admiration and gratitude only got bigger after reading this account.

    This book is the single best insider look at the events leading up to the financial crisis that was unleashed in September 2008. Mr. Geithner’s text is well written, often humorous, and clearly describes the policy dilemmas faced by the Federal Reserve (Bernanke), the U.S. Treasury (Paulson), and the FDIC (Baird). The book is not technical and can be read by anyone interested in one key person’s insights and role in events leading up to the global financial crisis and actions taken through 2012. Mr. Paulson has published his views from Treasury and we are waiting for Dr. Bernanke to do the same for his role as Fed chairman. For now, it is not possible to understand how actions taken by both the Federal Reserve and Treasury prevented the housing collapse from creating far more economic damage than it did without reading this book.
