He had a heart that squished,
but it was hard to reach
beyond all the road blocks.
but it was hard to reach
beyond all the road blocks.
So, what did I know about the Diamond District in New York and the Diamond trade in general?
Why, absolutely nothing!
So how could I not be curious? I can't say that this was the most fascinating writing style ever. It could use a good Editor's hand to bring it into the best light but it wasn't horrible. And there were so many aspects that were just completely unknown to me about how the diamond district was started. How Diamonds were traded and sold. Even how the prices were set in the old days, to how they are determined now. Some of it was just chance and people doing their own thing and it wound up affecting everyone all over the world.
Even WWII had a heavy hand on how things got started.
It's all a very different world than the one I might have imagined. Not that I really ever tried to imagine, but you know what I mean.
Overall, it was pretty interesting. :)
