Query: Not for the casual reader

This book is not for the casual reader. I might have enjoyed this book more if I were a historian or an economist and had a vast knowledge and interest in both of these subjects. That being said, I found the book not interesting enough to finish reading. Instead of being given a summary of the overall strategies and business relationships developed by this famous family, I seemingly had to read every detail about every individual loan the family ever made. If you like reading accounting books, maybe this is your cup of tea.To me this book is analogous to a three hour movie that should have been a properly edited two hour movie. I prefer the writing style of economist/historian William Engdahl, Pat Buchanan or Gore Vidal. They have a talent for telling history in a concise and informative way that the average reader can enjoy.
