If you read Levine for a while, you start to notice that he uses a lot of words to express short ideas (which is fine, it's "spinning a yarn") and that he says the same things over and over again (because the financial crimes and skulduggery he writes about keep happening over and over.)

His challenge is that he has to write about bond market liquidity as both an inside joke for the regular audience and as something comprehensible to a first time reader.

I do enjoy the compromise he's found.

The first part covered a bunch of stuff I hadn’t read from him before.

Sure he has some themes he keeps returning to (everything is securities fraud), but he keeps that fresh with new examples and different takes.

Thanks - I guess at that point there's a diminishing return and you've learned most of the ideas.

I'm still new to it so I feel like I'm learning a lot.

It's still good writing in the sense that it's interesting and engaging even as someone with relatively limited interest in the topic.
