    Fight Club...For Billionaires
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018*

I am not a financial geek, numbers whiz, nor until now, did I know who most of the people in this book were. However, because I'd recently heard that Bill Ackman was dating Brad Pitt's alleged love interest, Neri Oxman from MIT, I decided to give this book a try (yep, totally random and completely unrelated from the topic at hand). If a person like me can utterly enjoy this book, I guarantee most of the entire more sophisticated reading populace will as well.This book chronicles the activist shareholder fight over the company Herbalife - never even heard of this apparently mega Wall Street dispute until now - that's what I get for reading TMZ instead of the Wall Street Journal. Bill Ackman, activist investor and owners of Pershing Square Management, bets that the company is a pyramid scheme, takes a $1 Billion (Yes, billion with a B!!) "short" position in the stock, essentially trying to put it out of business and reap a huge return for his investors.  This book feels like it could have been the script for the movie, the Big Short.  On the other side, the poor Herbalife CEO, Michael Johnson, watches his stock slide due to Ackman's efforts until big guns like Daniel Loeb and Carl Icahn (thankfully, I had heard of him!) join the party, and take sides in the dispute opposite Ackman (i.e, "going long" on Herbalife)The book is a fascinating glimpse into the minds of the top .5% in the world, and shows that when they get petty because of the personal grudges, the stakes are measured in millions rather than number of Facebook posts. I would have never expected this subject matter to be a can't put down page turner, it isn't the Bourne identity by any means, but the author does as a fantastic job with this financial thriller - I feel a little silly saying that.No previous expertise required, just pick up and read- well worth your time.

    Good Read on HLF Saga and Icahn vs Ackman
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2018*

As someone who religiously followed the Herbalife saga unfold I can say I thoroughly enjoyed reading When The Wolves Bite. To address some of the initial reviews, Betting on Zero is not a 2 hour summary of this book, and Scott is not the TMZ of Wall Street in my opinion.The majority of the novel followed the series of events regarding the HLF saga. I was pleasantly surprised as to how Wapner narrates the story, keeping a neutral tone throughout the entirety of the novel. Readers will be able to draw their own judgement regarding the ego's involved here. Weaved into the story are aspects of the HLF saga that haven't been told before which warrant picking up this book if  you're familiar with the story. My favorite part is the ending on who really won the battle between Icahn and Ackman. Good food for thought.Parts of the story did leave me wanting more, particularly around the CNBC news side of things. At times I found myself wondering if someone unfamiliar with the HLF story would find this book as entertaining as me if they picked it up for a quick read. My guess is they might, but its possible they would interpret this as a Wall Street drama and move on.Overall, the novel is a good read that tailors more to viewers of Scott's CNBC Halftime Report and followers of the HLF saga. I can say with complete confidence that I'm looking forward to Scott's next novel!

    Great read, a must for anyone interested in the markets
  

*by G***I on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018*

I found Wapner's book to be a very well written and a very entertaining recount of an epic wall street battle.  This book is even more relevant today when CEO's like Musk battle on a daily basis in the media against short sellers targeting the stock of their companies.  I respect that Wapner does not try to lead the reader in any way as to whether Ackman's short of Herbalife was the right position or Icahn's vendetta was justified.  The story is filled with details that give the struggle between the two hedge fund managers a lot of context and place the reader in the mist of the scuffle.  Fun and informative, hard to put down, worth the read.
