Only tangentially related; but if you want to understand the Enron scandal; Kurt Eichenwald's Conspiracy of Fools is a better treatment of the topic.

I have that book, but I only got through the first couple of chapters. Is it factually sound? The narration of conversations between Enron people is so descriptive (down to what they were wearing), that I kinda got the feeling that this is a "dramatic re-telling" as opposed to a more investigative review.

I actually found the storytelling style pretty gripping, but again, I wasn't sure how much of it was fact vs. embellishment for narrative purposes.

Agreed, that book was fantastic. Detailed but also very entertaining.
