I read it, and loved it. I loved everything about it. The corporate intrigue, backstabbing and appalling lack of respect for other people demonstrated by all the key players was fascinating. It never ceases to amaze me what people will do, and go through, for power and wealth. I loved Barbarians at the Gate as well, so maybe it's just my thing. Real life beats fiction any day. I have re-read the book several times, and am now reading it again. I think Stewart doesn't dwell on the Theme Parks angle too much because it is so publicised already, whereas most of this is behind-the-scenes stuff, as with Tarses, et al. Most of these people are just so corrupt- it's astounding just how much so.
