Very complete and comprehensive
This book definetely is one of the best and most complete books on finance and investment available on the market today. Unlike other books on this subject it enables even a beginner to gain an in-depth understanding of finance and investment because there are so many examples. While reading the book I had always the feeling that one of its authors is sitting beside me in order to guide me. Unless other books it does not bore its readers with an overload of mathematics but does explain exactly the origin of the numbers used in the examples. I am from Munich/Germany and work in the M&A departement of a consulting company. I have bought this book when I was a student and I still use it today.

A must have for students new and old to finance
As an Economics and finance student i have found this book extremely usefull at an undergraduate and postgraduate level of education. The text works on many levels; giving a basic explanatiion of financial issues right through to a rigorous and in-depth discussion of the topics. The ample use of diagrams and numerical examples really add clarity to the financial issues discussd. The text achieves focus upon financial issues that are key in the modern financial world and hence covers exactly the topics which will appear in any finance based course.

The pre-eminent finance text, but you have to wonder
I've used it for the core finance course in B-school. Everybody else seems to use it too. It has everything you need but you have to wonder why it's so popular. It gets way too wordy and unclear. It became a major source of discontent in our class and took away from my understanding of finance.
