Tremendously interesting book, I'd like to say I couldn't put it down, but it took me 3 months to finish. Her writing is feminine, she describes how people look and how they act as much as what they do. She uses similes rather than measurements when describing things. Her unstated thesis was that oil prices will soon go up, but 11 years later, they have not; I think she missed the fracking revolution, which was well under way in 2006, but she only mentioned fracking in passing.
