Should not be missed.
An absolute knockout. Full of sound points and simple investment strategies, all backed up with solid evidence. Particularly amusing and interesting is Dreman's devastating deconstruction of the 'Efficient' Market Hypothesis. I find myself quoting this book frequently.

Intelligent, well constructed, compelling arguments
It sounds trite, but this is one of the best investment books I have read in a long time. David Dremen presents a well researched, intelligent defense of contrarian strategies. The insights regarding bonds and small caps were particularly helpful and offered a fresh perspective on the usual assumptions regarding these investment options.

While the books length may seem daunting, I was actually sorry to reach the end. If only more of the investment writing available were as well thought out as this book.

Solid ideas, mediocre delivery.....
The content of this book is very good - David Dreman's strategies are very good and very well researched. However, the author's very heavy and laboured writing make this a tough read - I've read a lot of investment type books and this was the worst in that respect. In addition, Dreman seems to have quite an ego - he spends much of the book dismissing others' market theories - and while he may be correct he does it in quite a personal and almost obsessive way.
