 Subprime Meltdown: From U.S. Liquidity Crisis To Global Recession $14.95 I read this book (and many others) as part of some graduate school research on the subprime crisis. There are some good and bad things about this book, but overall it is not as good as other books on the subject. The first thing to note is that this book is self-published and contains many typos and potentially misleading or inaccurate statements. Without going into detail, Mr. Brownell is not an economist or academic and a lot of his statements strike me as unresearched prejudices he developed over his career in the mortgage industry. His prose also often makes him sound like Jim Cramer or Donald Trump. For instance, the book basically ends with a hymn to capitalism. Even if capitalism is worthy of a hymn, this kind of writing doesn't make the author sound objective. Some people may appreciate his rhetoric, but if you're looking for an unbiased assessment you should look elsewhere. On the positive side, Brownell does a good job introducing the subject in a quick read for people who may not have read anything about it before. If you want to read a book on this subject but only want to read a quick 100 pages instead of 200-300 denser pages, this is probably your best bet. I would encourage anyone considering this book to buy another book instead. The best book I read during my research is Financial Shock by Mark Zandi, and I consider it far better than any other book as an introduction to the subprime mortgage crisis. Other good books include Confessions of a Subprime Lender by Richard Bitner and The Subprime Solution by Robert Shiller.
