Picked up this book at the recommendation of a friend. Read it all in one rainy day on vacation! The book is honest, humble and satisfying to read. I enjoyed the explanation of the buy side and it’s relationships with everyone else on Wallstreet...felt like I learned a little in between the laughs of Duff’s misadventures. His struggles rang true to many challenges I have faced in my own personal life and career...this is probably why I liked the book so much! Congrats on a great book!

Mr. Duff, thank you for sharing your story. Keep writing, and never quit quitting. When I read a book I become submerged into the atmosphere. While reading this book I felt as if I was there, but I had blinders on and I wasn't given much depth. However, I couldn't put the book down. I just felt like this story has been told before with more grandiose. Turney, this is your life and you said what you wanted to in the way you wanted to, I cannot bash that.

The book was an excellent tale of life on Wall Street along with a struggle with addiction told with brutal honesty.

One of the best books I have read in years.

Touney, thank you for sharing a part of your life that many would rather hide from, for your honesty, your struggles, your realism and personality. While I trained on Wall Street over 30 years ago, I've been on the retail side for many years and I'm still learning. It's eye opening to see the evil and greed that nearly ruined our country and the world, and so many turn a blind eye. You've inspired me to stay the course and continue helping individuals meet their financial goals. We are all sinners and far from perfect, but God knew that when he made us, and is there to show us his unending grace and love. I pray you find his love through Christ Jesus and wish you much success in the future.

Just an incredible story about the lifestyle of a buy side Wall Street trader. Turney's writing is genuine, authentic, raw, real, funny and addicting (no pun intended). I couldn't put this book down and was captivated from the very beginning. I picked this book up after attending a capital markets conference on Wall Street and visiting my daughter in TriBeCa. Reading this book you will feel a real connection to Turney as you live each moment. Read this book. It's moving, humbling and absolutely captivating. Best book I've read since Unbroken. Thanks for sharing your story Turney. You almost feel like a friend whom I will miss now that I've finished your book.

This is a coming of age story set within the most dramatic 15 years in the history of finance. The writing is so conversational it makes you feel like you're sitting next to Turney Duff via fireplace. The financial aspects of the book are written in a way that everyone can understand. What ultimately ends up being a cautionary tale is gripping funny and amazing ending.

"The Buy Side" is a fascinating and realistic look at a Wall Street Lifestyle many never see behind the shiny veneer put on everyday by so many. I know...the story is told with just the right amount of cynical humor and the dark, gritty realism that follows the author through the chaotic descent of the author's life into drugs and an empty world filled with empty people...all punctuated during the climatic ending with the background of the 2008-2009 economic meltdown and it "sobering" effect on Wall Street. In more ways than one...

This story ‘hit home’ with me. Thanks for yoru courage Turney. Keep writing and stay sober.

When I picked up this book, I didn't know what to expect. I thought it was just another Wall Street guy trying to cash in on the wolf of wall street media storm. I was pleasantly surprised! The book is told from such a down to earth, normal person perspective that makes you feel the emotions he describes with true understanding of what he is going through. This is an amazing story and I can't wait for more of his work!
