Industry Reviews
Goold and Willis use straightforward prose that reads as if it were clipped from the morning's paper, with details repeated sporadically throughout the book. . . . While many people made a lot of money trading Bre-X stock when it was rising (and getting out before 'the fall'), others, such as short sellers, sometimes called 'vultures' because they will bet on the stock falling, made money too. Still further down the food chain are the lawyers now handling the many suits against Bre-X and, finally, the writers and sellers of books like [this one].

Hastily written books on major business stories tend to have the casual quality you'd expect and are, for the most part, a rehash of old accounts with little new informtion. Unfortunately, this is true of the first books released about Bre-X: The Bre-X Fraud and Bre-X: The Inside Story [by Diane Francis]. Of the two, The Bre-X Fraud is clearly the superior. Written by The Globe and Mail's investment editor, Douglas Goold, and a columnist Andrew Willis, The Bre-X Fraud is a readable, sharp-focused narrative that recounts the story of Bre-X's catapult from a penny stock to a fraud that rocked the investment community.
