I read that book, and my recommendation is to skip the third act, which is painfully repetitive.

In fact, coming from a finance background, I didn't find the book in general to be particularly insightful, and much more ragebait / policy oriented (which makes sense given the author was a DOJ Antitrust prosecutor)

Is there an alternative you might suggest?

Barbarians at the Gate is the classic LBO book. It gives a nice mix of story and financial mechanics.

Because you already knew that stuff, or because it's wrong?
