I read this April 2013
One down off the 'Guilty Shelf'
The plot, as the title implies, centres round 7 days in December just as the financial crisis hits... the lives of the various characters are examined in detail and the interactions between the lives. One of the characters is a hedge fund manager and the sections with his life in go some way to help to explain what had been going on, making money out of money and how the crash was engineered. It makes a mockery of the 'we're all in this together' rubbish we get fed ... don't you believe it! I never have, even before reading this book and even less now....
As with all SF novels I found some it it a bit less than interesting to read, but mostly I enjoyed it and learnt some things so that's always worthwhile...
7/10
Have you read it? What did you think of it?
