Ratings and reviews

This book drug on a bit, jumping from character to character. The ending was bizzare, almost like the author was sick of writting so he just stopped writting and called it the end.. I would not recommend this book.

Despite its length it was more than enough to demonstrate the corruptness of the media. The best of stories cssn get the messege across in less than 300 pages. Again, Ken Follets writing does not fail to deliver.

I love this amazing book a lot and so much about the paper money & I want to be a rich millionaire like this one day in life 💯👍🙏💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💶💷💵💴
