(The Snowy Alps) February 15, 2002 - 5.0/5 stars
When it first arrived on his doorstep, bundled in that ubiquitous Amazon
cardboard, Sticky thought his new 5-piece bamboo steamer set had finally
arrived... this book really is that big.The House of Morgan chronicles
in minute detail the meteoric rise and rise of the JP Morgan banking
behemoth.
But don't despair food fans, it's not all big swinging ... and
heady stories of bold arbitrage plays. The narrative is punctuated more
than occasionally by oddly beautiful recollections of J Pierpont's most
memorable sticky rice meals. Satisfying for both mind and stomach...
