Customer Reviews

Disappointing but not worthless.
I was expecting a very different book with more concise excerpts from the 25 books. There is way too little "meat" in this book for my taste, the author barely scratches the surface when he describes the content of these great books. If you dont own any of the 25 books already and are serious about investing, trading, speculating on the market this is a good place to start just to find out what investments books are out there.

A better book that goes a little deeper is Market Wizards : Interviews With Top Traders by Jack D. Schwager.

You would be better off making three trades at ameritrade.com than spending $25.00 on this book. Worthless for an investor. Big dissapointment.

Snapshot summaries of investment books you should read
This books strength is also its weakness. It provides short, subjective summaries. For some these summaries will be too short, but the author narrates these accounts lavishly. Basically, if you believe 300+ page books can be eviscerated to 10 pages like this then buy it. Those included are the investors Graham, Buffet, Fisher, Soros and Keynes. Personally it has helped me look like I know what I'm talking about in investment banking interviews. I'm also been prompted to read some of the summarised books.
