RaveThe TImes (UK)Definitive ... Kaplan has written something broader and equally vital, marshalling with a light touch countless snippets of material to piece together a portrait of these three men and how they tilted jazz on its axis.
Michael Lewis
PanThe Times (UK)The fascinating story in Going Infinite, Michael Lewis’s long-awaited book on the accused crypto swindler Sam Bankman-Fried, isn’t that of SBF. It is the story of how Lewis, the best long-form journalistic writer of the past 20 years, fell for his protagonist and may have maimed his long-justified reputation in the process ... You might instead read Going Infinite in infinite expectation, as I did, that Lewis will turn the screw on Bankman-Fried. You will wait in vain. The action, such as it is, does not start until page 193 of a 254-page book ... On the whole, Lewis lacks the sort of scenes that made his previous books memorable ... Lewis, a vivid storyteller, paints a fascinating picture of Bankman-Fried, but he seems only to have seen one side of him: the side that dazzled the world.
