Gasparino [is] a great reporter.... Mr. Grasso's story is spectacular. |

The detail in which Gasparino describes the boardroom back-stabbing is as thorough and compelling as a reader will find in any book about Wall Street. |

Gasparino, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, had excellent access to [Grasso]... This, combined with the author's entree to financial Goliaths such as former Merill Lynch & Co. CEO David Komansky and Home Depot Inc. co-founder Kenneth Langone, steep the book in rich detail... He paints a portrait of the goings-on at NYSE board meetings that only tireless reporting and good connections can provide...The book does a great job at describing Grasso's efforts to market an institution that by many accounts has been on the slow journey to extinction ever since the invention of the microchip.

Charles Gasparino...provides a blow-by-blow account of Mr. Grasso's remarkable rise and fall.... At the same time, Mr. Gasparino provides a rare inside glimpse of how financial titans like Henry M. Paulson Jr., the former Goldman Sachs chairman who is now Treasury secretary, conduct their affairs. It is not a pretty picture, but it demands the attention of anyone who cares about capitalism in this country.

[Charles Gasparino] describes, in page-turning detail, a Wall Street world of ruthless financial titans....no collection of courtroom documents will ever tell the story behind [Grasso's] ouster, in all its nasty detail, as well as Mr. Gasparino does in King of the Club. |

A fascinating, methodical and in-depth account of Grasso's rise and fall during some of the NYSE's most tumultuous years... Gasparino's retalling of how Grasso got the NYSE back on its feet quicky after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is particularly absorbing, and the book is peppered with colorful anecdotes.

Newsweek, USA
<2008-01-25 00:00>
[A] rigorously reported tome... Rags-to-riches stories may provide inspiring myths about the possibilities of making it to the top in New York, but this tale of one man's path from rags to riches to ridicule is more compelling for being true.

BusinessWeek, USA
<2008-01-25 00:00>
Gasparino's detailed account of Wall Street insider machinations, and the tick-tock of boardroom negotiations during the worst crisis in NYSE history, makes for riveting reading. It's also the most complete rendering of Grasso's final days.

Library Journal, USA
<2008-01-25 00:00>
Gasparino captures all the detail quite skillfully in his probing, fast-paced, and hugely entertaining book... a masterly story of the rise and fall of Richard Grasso... Highly recommended.
