What is the author's tone in Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the FinancialSystem--and Themselves by Andrew Ross Sorkin?

The events described in Too Big to Fail took place over a few months and developed very rapidly. Sorkin maintains a similarly rapid pace in his prose, creating the urgent tone of a psychological thriller. The environment of high-finance deal making is by nature adversarial since each side of a potential deal tries to get the advantage. Sorkin presents these battles from the viewpoint of each participant, usually through a series of telephone conversations.
