Book description
Boomerang - an audiobook that turns a global financial saga into a rollicking, thought-provoking ride
Michael Lewis has done it again: he takes the dizzying world of credit bubbles and turns it into a story that feels as personal as it is epic. From the moment the narrator's voice drops the opening line-"The tsunami of cheap credit was more than a simple financial phenomenon"-you know you're in for an engaging, no-frills exploration of how greed and hope collided across continents.
What makes Boomerang such a pleasure to listen to is Lewis's knack for pairing big ideas with vivid, often bizarre characters. We meet a monk who rigs Greek capitalism to keep his monastery afloat, a cod fisherman who becomes a currency trader after just three days of training, and an Irish developer who literally drives a bulldozer into Parliament in protest of the collapse. These stories feel almost comic, yet they reveal the human side of economic forces that usually sit behind charts and jargon.
The narration itself is smooth and conversational. The voice actor (the same one who brings Lewis's earlier works to life) captures the rhythm of Lewis's prose-fast-paced when the stakes are high, slower when he dives into a character's backstory. You can almost hear the hum of Icelandic banks or the clatter of Greek marble as Lewis describes how each bubble formed and burst.
Lewis doesn't shy away from criticism either. While the early chapters paint foreign markets as "foolish," the later sections bring the focus home to California and Washington, showing that the same reckless appetite for debt is present in America too. The result is a sobering reminder: no country is immune to the lure of easy credit.
Overall, Boomerang is a masterclass in storytelling. It's accessible enough for anyone who has ever heard about the 2008 crisis but deep enough to satisfy those who want more than headlines. If you're looking for an audiobook that entertains while it enlightens-one that will have you laughing one moment and reflecting the next-this is the listen.
