My first time of reading this novel was about a decade and half ago, I just read it again, and despite the fact that I could still vividly remember most of the notable events in the book before reading it again, I still thoroughly enjoyed the story. I pity those who undermine great novels like this and regards people who read such as jobless. There are loads of deep insights buried in such treasure chest. Let me give 2 highlights from the book: 1"Metropolitan, just off Fifth Avenue on East Sixieth Street" "Why there and not somewhere down in Wall Street?" "William, when you're dealing with the Peter Parfitts of this world, you don't telegraph your intentions. Keep your wits about you and play the whole thing very coolly... 2"And if you are one of the two vice chairmen, Mr. Leach, who is the Company Secretary? " "I am," said Alfred Rodgers, who until then had hardly opened his mouth, THE EXACT QUALITY WILLIAM ALWAYS LOOKED FOR IN A COMPANY SECRETARY.
