If you read Levine for a while, you start to notice that he uses a lot of words to express short ideas (which is fine, it's "spinning a yarn") and that he says the same things over and over again (because the financial crimes and skulduggery he writes about keep happening over and over.)
- fossuser 6y agoThanks - I guess at that point there's a diminishing return and you've learned most of the ideas. I'm still new to it so I feel like I'm learning a lot.
- snazz 6y agoIt's still good writing in the sense that it's interesting and engaging even as someone with relatively limited interest in the topic.
- L_Rahman 6y agoHis challenge is that he has to write about bond market liquidity as both an inside joke for the regular audience and as something comprehensible to a first time reader. I do enjoy the compromise he's found.
- robocat 6y agoThe first part covered a bunch of stuff I hadn’t read from him before. Sure he has some themes he keeps returning to (everything is securities fraud), but he keeps that fresh with new examples and different takes.
