I thought this book was excellent. I knew nothing about the Madoff family or the scandal surrounding them so it was very engrossing for me. The author handled the subject well and did a good job of focusing on how they all felt and saw the world. It made me feel sad for them because they were victims just like everyone else.

not a lot new but i was interested enough to finish the book. You get the story from Andrew's point of view. Now I am reading the book by Mark's widow to get her/his point of view. ( )
