As other's have suggested, this is terrible. It's an "unabridged" lecture by the author. Description needs to be updated to reflect that it is NOT the book.

Don't be fooled like I was- this is not the book - this is the author giving a lecture about Enron/her book. Somewhat interesting, but only 45 minutes long and very disappointing if you're expecting the book and you get just one CD of a lecture

If you are an Enron jukie and I am, this is a must heard. The presentation was a bit difficult but it gets better. The writer gets to the heart of the topic and I found it to be very informative.

This is a review of a book by the author, not the book itself. It is horrible.
