Moneyball took a fair amount of flak, as I recall. I tend to be suspicious of anybody spinning a good narrative (which he really is skilled at) out of historical events; at best they're leaving out important things that aren't part of their narrative thread, while often overstating the significance of much that they do include.

You've probably heard by now, but 'Going Infinite' by Michael Lewis is garbage. I liked some of his earlier books, but this time he's way out of line. Lewis doesn't go as far as to claim Sam Bankman-Fried, the subject of the book, is entirely innocent. But he does his best to downplay his culpability and instead tries to build the case that Bankman-Fried is just a whimsical genius.
