## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read. Learn about the shipping industry.
*by J***E on June 20, 2025*

As others have written, the "coincidences" strain credulity at times. But this is a really enjoyable book and I learned a lot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun read, very educational, could use an edit [minor spoilers]
*by T***P on June 16, 2014*

This is an introductory text on shipping finance disguised as an adventure story. The finance stuff pulls few punches in presentation - we feel Robert's naivety and bewilderment keenly - and it's often necessary to go over those passages a few times to make sure its sunk in. It's rich in the detail it presents, but there is clearly a huge amount left unwritten. Rather helpfully, the book does offer up a list of trade rags to read, which, like all the information in the book, is sprinkled throughout the story rather than being dumped at the end in a clunky appendix.There is much comedy in the book's depiction of the clash of cultures between shipping's European pragmatism and the over-regulated, stiffly conformist world of anglo-saxon investment banking. A wonderful scene late in the book, where a group of American fund managers pose a series of increasingly inane questions to a bemused shipping magnate, reflects this hilariously.Robert's character is very well drawn, the rest a bit less so, but all are believable and enjoyable to be around. The author avoids obvious caricature for the most part. He clearly has great affection for the shipping men he's writing about, less so the financiers: he is especially cruel to one romantic hedge fund manager who we meet later in the book - not content with ruining him for pursuing much the same dream that Robert had, he then has his office mate crush his testicles, in the process denying him the chance to exit a bad trade.I said in the title it needed an edit: It's mostly told from Robert's perspective, but there are a few moments in the book where these flashes of omniscient narration come in, such as hearing Spirolakis's thoughts during a conversation with Robert. These jar a bit, taking the reader out of what is otherwise an engaging book. Occasional bits of dialogue feel clunky too: a grouse moor conversation between a shipowner and his banker is especially bad. These are fleeting moments though. For the most part, it's a fast-paced, enjoyable story about making the most of an opportunity and putting your trust in people, not rules.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun financial cliffhanger
*by M***H on June 23, 2024*

For those with a little business background, this story is great fun. The shipping boys get the better of the Wall St heels, and one hedge fund fellow finds a new calling. Well-paced.
