Rattner's Overhaul struck a good balance between detail and what I'll call "humidity": this is
not the sort of book one reads for simple amusement. Rattner conveys efficiently and colorfully the events
that produced the metamorphosis of the U.S. automotive industry -- particularly the rebirths of Chrysler
and General Motors. Rattner plied both his financial and journalistic expertise to produce a salient
and insightful account of what happened behind the scenes with the auto rescue, from the close of the
Bush administration until August this year.
This is the first book I've completed on the Kindle, and I have to say it went quickly. The Kindle's
portability made it extremely easy to reconnect with the book in a spare moment. It downloaded within
the blink of an eye and seemed to read just as quickly. I wonder if I would have moved as fast through
a hardcover copy.
