I expected more from "Grounded ..." than it provided me. Lots of detail, but at least to me was written in a "herky jerky" manner that I found hard to follow. Too much detail and not enough of the Big Picture story I was looking for. Probably a great book for someone intimately involved in the Eastern bankruptcy. Not on a par with Skygods, the Fall of Pan Am by Robert Gandt.
