The Fear Index Reviews

The Fear Index could scarcely be more of the moment * The Times *
Harris is a master of pace and entertainment, and The Fear Index is a thoroughly enjoyable book . . . Read the book. * Observer *
The Fear Index is an escapist thriller to rank with the best of them, and as a guide to what hedge funds actually do, it is surprisingly clear and instructive. * Economist *
There are moments when this book feels so up to date it could have been written next week... spookily exciting. * Express *
I would recommend The Fear Index, the new novel by Robert Harris that delves into the world of modern finance. The writing is as elegant as ever -- Lionel Barber * Financial Times *
