About half way through with this book I realized I wasn't going to learn much of use from it, and the best I could hope to gain from finishing it was a few more amusing or maybe surprising anecdotes. (

Pros: some interesting facts and history; interesting angle
Cons: not much insider knowledge; connects high-level rich people habitats directly to lower-level animal instincts - a bit stretchy, too big a leap and trivial (obvious connections; not much insights) (
