This "Bernie Madoff" book about a Ponzi scheme and its effect upon various people was frankly boring to me. If an author cannot induce me to care about at least one of the main character, then they have failed me. Paul commits manslaughter, steals and takes heroin - he is completely without redeeming qualities and not surprisingly completely self absorbed. Vincent has the greatest potential to be "liked" as a character, but she sells herself to a crook. There simply was not enough character development. Oh, then there is a "ghost" to draw in a certain group of readers. The organization of the book was chaotic. The only person I cared about at all was Walter who became the caretaker of the abandoned hotel, but he was such a minor character that he could not redeem the book. Not worth the hype.
