　　Having made the U.S. financial crisis comprehensible for us

all in The Big Short, Michael Lewis realised that he hadn't begun

to get grips with the full story. How exactly had it come to hit

the rest of the world in the face too? Just how broke are we

really?　

Boomerang is a tragi-comic romp across Europe, in which Lewis

gives full vent to his storytelling genius. The cheap credit that

rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a

simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire

societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they

could not normally afford to indulge. Icelanders wanted to stop

fishing and become investment bankers. The Greeks wanted to turn

their country into a pi?ata stuffed with cash and allow as many

citizens as possible to take a whack. The Irish wanted to stop

being Irish. The Germans wanted to be even more German. Michael

Lewis's investigation of bubbles across Europe is brilliantly,

sadly hilarious. He also turns a merciless eye on America: on

California, the epicentre of world consumption, where we see that a

final reckoning awaits the most avaricious of nations too. This is

the ultimate book of our times. It's time to brace ourselves for

impact. And, with Michael Lewis, to laugh out loud while we're

doing it.

The interesting thing, said the German financier...is the glass room at the top (of the Commerzbank HQ building), from which one looks down over Frankfurt.It is a men's toilet. Commerzbank executives had taken him there to show him how, in full view of the world below, he could shit on Deutsche Bank.

Other countries used foreign money to fuel various forms of insanity. The Germans, through their bankers, used their own money to enable foreigners to behave insanely.

that was the biggest American financial lesson that the Icelanders took to heart: the importance of buying as many assets as possible with borrowed money, as asset prices only rose.

I never had any respect for bankers. To this day, one of my favorite phrases is: never trust a banker.

In Greece the banks didn't sink the country. The country sank the banks.

"You have to understand," he told me, "Iceland is no longer of country. It is a hedge fund."

　　"Lewis is the finest storyteller of our generation. (Malcolm

Gladwell )He is so good everyone else may as well pack up (Evening

Standard )Fascinating...the book could not be more timely...a

sharp-edged narrative that leaves readers with a visceral

understanding of the fiscal recklessness that lies behind today's

headlines (Michiko Kakutani New York Times )Michael Lewis's bravura

journey through Europe's economic underbelly brilliantly charts the

consequences of a world plagued by debt...highly enjoyable...nicely

politically incorrect, often very funny, and shot through with

genuine insight (Robert Harris Sunday Times )Michael Lewis meets

some extraordinary characters in his excursion through the barely

controlled madness that is modern finance ... lucid,

entertaining."

　　--Tony Barber, Financial Times
