If anyone is interested, "Inside the House of Money" is a pretty enjoyable book about "global macro" hedge funds in the mid 2000's. It's just a series of interviews with hedge fund managers about their careers, their favourite trades and how they run their funds.

The interviews all take place prior to the financial crisis and it's neat to see how they were thinking about the economy. It ranges from "we're in trouble" to "I'm confused about what is driving the CDS market so I am on the sidelines."

As for the story, I am totally apathetic. If you invest in a hedge fund you are well aware of the fee structure going in and you are a sophisticated investor. Ultimately these guys only make money if their clients make money.
