Trader Jack -The Story of Jack Miner (The Story of Jack Miner Series) eBook Neil Behrmann Reviews
This could be described as a financial thriller - but at it's heart it is about a canny boy from Yorkshire who plays - or gets played by - the system. A touching and moving book, which also gives a clear introduction into investments and financial boom and bust - simple enough for me to get my head around, which is saying something.
For once, the blurb does not exaggerate - Trader Jack is a "gripping story" and a real page-turner. Just as in life right now we want to know what will happen to our pensions, jobs and savings, so in this tale we want to know how Jack Miner will survive, putting all his future into the world of hedge funds and short selling. Like Dickens with Oliver Twist, Neil Behrmann uses the young hero to show up the corrupt and manipulative adult world - in this case, not crooked beadles and housebreakers, but the rather larger villains of international trading and the manipulation of commodities (with all their knock-on effect for the poor of the world) . Unlike Oliver, though, Jack has an emotional hinterland, and as the plot moves on we wonder, is he less Oliver and more the Artful Dodger? You will need to read on to find out, and also to meet a Dickensian sweep of colourful characters. Running throughout the novel is a debate about the risks the western world is facing from the movement of enormous sums of money - to the lay reader like myself an arcane subject, but one to which Neil Behrmann gives a human face. This thriller stands alongside John Lanchester's Whoops in giving insight into the extraordinary world of the money market of today.
This is quite a remarkable book. As you get into it, it becomes ‘unputdownable’. One wants to know where it is going. A very strong plot and very good characterisations. Some of the financial ins and outs are above my head, but that does not detract from the book’s appeal. For the financially literate, the skulduggery in the jungle will be fascinating. What a mix of people and sub-plots and yet it hangs together. Bravo!! I see this is going to be a series. Very good idea. The Americans and Canadians do this sort of thing very well – always the same central character. It’s a formula that works.

Well done telling of an exciting story
The story is epic. If only you are interested in this type of books, please make yourself a pleasure and just read it. I’ve read a lot of financial thrillers, but I think this book should be the indicator of how these type of books should be written, I’ve only known one book which is as good in this topic(story) as this one, and it is Stone’s Fall by Iain Pears. It’s a pity that this book and its Author don’t have a stronger marketing. I hope it’s only the beginning of the series and can’t wait for next Jack Miner!!!
