Praise for The Frackers
"Zuckerman’s fast-paced, densely interesting The Frackers is the
first book to tell the stories of the obstinate, ravenous,
methodical, sometimes rascally oil executives of the recent boom.
By focusing on people instead of trends, it gets to the heart of
why the United States is once again the largest supplier of oil and
gas in the world."
—The New Republic
“The Frackers, [Zuckerman’s] second book, is told with care and
precision and a deep understanding of finance and corporate
politics as well as oil and geology.”
— Bryan Burrough, The New York Times
“Fans of the lively, character-driven nonfiction of writers like
Kurt Eichenwald and Ben Mezrich should welcome this book with open
arms . . . A lively, exciting, and definitely thought-provoking
book”
—Booklist
“A fascinating study of American entrepreneurial culture and the
modern robber barons who succeeded in creating an energy
revolution.”
—Kirkus
“Lovers of business and capitalism will appreciate The Frackers, …
Zuckerman has done valuable and timely reporting on the men and
independent companies that created the shale boom.”
—Associated Press
“Colorful …compelling account [of] a revolution driven by
stubborn entrepreneurs.”
—Reuters
“An interesting and first-rate narrative… a dramatic tale… The book
may be the definitive story of the innovative men behind the most
significant energy discovery of our time.”
—Akron Beacon Journal
"Insightful...At times suspenseful...on-target in telling the tale
of a group of wildcatters who risked almost everything and helped
launch the United States on the path to energy independence."
— Natural Gas Intelligence
“Too little attention has been paid to one of America's biggest
economic and scientific revolution of recent decades: the tapping
of abundant oil and natural gas reserves within our own borders
using a technique called fracking. Wall Street Journal reporter
Zuckerman…sets out to change that with his unique talent of
translating complex aspects of finances and geology into prose that
reads like a blockbuster thriller.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred)
“Zuckerman details [the frackers’s] epic adventure with skill that
makes it required reading for anyone looking to understand
fundamental forces at work in our world today.”
—Forbes “Best Books of 2013”
"A dynamic narrative... introduces us to the major players behind a
boom."
—San Antonio Express-News
“Greg Zuckerman tells the remarkable story of the larger than life
entrepreneurs and deal makers behind this energy-industrial
revolution. A great read, whether you are pro-fracking or against
it.”
—Matthew Bishop, US Business Editor at The Economist
“If you are looking for the present-day take on a romantic
rag-to-riches drama reminiscent of the Gilded Age, engaging tales
of brave entrepreneurs whose desire to get really wealthy helped
them persevere and prosper come boom or bust, look no further than
The Frackers."
–Pittsburgh Post Gazette
“Gregory Zuckerman tells the story of the shale revolution well. He
has an eye for detail and a flair for narrative that makes it
highly readable... This is a story of innovation as perspiration…
It is a reminder that innovation is neither easy nor cheap nor
inevitable”
—The Times (UK)
"Greg Zuckerman's The Frackers will long be considered 'The Bible'
on fracking and the history of drilling in the US and the
wildcatting billionaires who were the main players. This incredibly
thorough book explains, thrills, and has us on the edge of our
seats all the way towards US energy independence."
—James Altucher, best-selling author, entrepreneur and blogger
Praise for The Greatest Trade Ever
“ Simply terrific. Easily the best of the post-crash financial
books.”
—Malcolm Gladwell
“ Mr. Zuckerman is a first-rate reporter who is also able to
explain the complexities of real estate finance in layman’s terms.
At times, The Greatest Trade Ever reads like a thriller.”
—The New York Times
“ He’s written the definitive account of a strange and wonderful
subplot of the financial crisis.”
—Michael Lewis
“ Possibly the greatest book to come out of the financial crisis of
2007–08, and it’s certainly up there in the top 3.”
