Listeners Are Calling This The "Best Book of the Year"
The New York Times
“A neck-breaking plot twist... Bilton’s impressive reporting
gives more space to a story that could use some sprawl."
NYT "Editor's Choice" Bestseller
“A comprehensive, breezily written narrative."
The Globe and Mail
“An astonishingly well-researched narrative…
Bilton's storytelling bears not so much as a trace of fat;
the book he's conjured is so sharp and bright
that it can be whipped through in the
airport lounge before the flight takes off."
Kirkus Reviews
"Engrossing... Bilton writes in a breezy, colloquial style...
A fast-paced, readable true-crime tale that frames the likely future of the underground economy."
Inc. Magazine
“Bilton's specialty is the deep dive...
a genuine page-turner, and the best book I've read this year.”
HuffPost
"The book is amazing."
Business Insider
"The book reads like a novel."
Bloomberg Businessweek
"Cinematic... a page turner with a clever (and subversive) framing."
The New York Daily News
"Astonishing!"
Wall Street Journal
“Drawing on an impressive stockpile of research, Mr. Bilton documents
Ulbricht’s mental state in great detail, producing a portrait of a young man
experiencing the heady mix of exhilaration and terror that
accompanies becoming an immensely successful criminal.”
National Catholic Register
"Kingpin is a powerful story, one that I would
have been ignorant of and that, honestly,
probably affects me more than I would have thought."
