"Some chick asked me what I would do with 10 million bucks. I told her I'd wonder where the rest of my money went." (@GSElevator)

Over the past three years, the notorious @GSElevator Twitter feed has offered a hilarious, shamelessly voyeuristic look into the real world of international finance. Hundreds of thousands followed the account, Goldman Sachs launched an internal investigation, and when the true identity of the man behind it all was revealed, it created a national media sensation - but that's only part of the story.

Where @GSElevator captured the essence of the banking elite with curated jokes and submissions overheard by readers, Straight to Hell adds John LeFevre's own story - an unapologetic and darkly funny account of a career as a globe-conquering investment banker spanning New York, London, and Hong Kong. Straight to Hell pulls back the curtain on a world that is both hated and envied, taking listeners from the trading floors and roadshows to private planes and after-hours overindulgence. Full of shocking lawlessness, boyish antics, and win-at-all-costs schemes, this is the definitive take on the deviant, dysfunctional, and absolutely excessive world of finance.

While the narrator effectively captures the first person narcissistic sneer, repeated mispronounciations of common words is quite annoying.

1. Expat is not pronounced "expate"
2. Lehman is not pronounced "lay man"

Very well written and extremely funny. If a little male influenced. Drugs, money and women with a splattering of banking!

the story was both brilliantly written and brilliantly narrated. I particularly like the accurate and nuanced description of the banking aspect interwoven with

business detail with the debauchery

John LeFevre is quite the character and his stories, regardless of whether true or fictional, are hilarious, revealing, shameless and refreshing. The narrator was perfect and it felt as if he took part in the stories from a first hand. 10/10!

Loved it!

I enjoyed every worthless, meaningless minute of it. I can’t help but think to myself, why can’t I have friends this reckless or better yet, why can’t I have such a life. We may hate them, but they do know how to push the boundaries.

An entertaining waste of time
