I loved this book! It was quirky but lots of serious story line! The main character was someone you love to hate and hate to love. His imagination and narcissism was fabulously written! Aaron seemed to have ADHD too so jumped from thought to thought seamlessly. Brilliant idea to focus only slightly on the other characters of the book and put all the energy into this complicated character. I would definitely recommend this book as a fun read for others. There could be some triggering content and moments of strong language that some may find offensive, but I found it realistic and quirky in a fun way.

Thanks Netgalley and Inkshares for the great book!

While reading Bad Banker I could see parts of Aaron's character and dealings in people I got to know throughout my career in the HR area. This story might be a work of fiction but it sure pictures the crisis that happened when derivatives were being sold by retail banks worldwide and how those who were selling these financial options were only thinking about their own bonuses and career improvements. Aaron is delusional and cannot see that he is always going down further with every step he takes to get his money, his prestige back. He always was a man out of the pack, subject to scrutiny and prejudice because of his origins and faith and all he wanted was acceptance, family, friends but it took him too long to realize it.
Bad Banker might not be an engaging book for those who do not understand the banking world, but it's entertaining, has a good plot and is an acid reading of our times.
I thank Mr. Bennett, his publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC.
