I ordered this book for my sister who has just started to invest. I gave her my old "You have more than you think" by David and Tom Gardner, (1990's) and thought this would be a nice accompaniment. I skimmed through it after receiving it, and upon closer examination, got hooked! The Gardner brothers have done it again. This book goes from the beginner (my sister) to the experienced novice (myself) clear up to the expert (where I want to be).
This book has helped me see that, although ... Read More

I bought this book after reading several other financial books by Peter Lynch, Roger Lowenstein, Arthur Levitt and John Murphy. I thought I'd add the Gardners to my variety of authors. While the concept that these other authors teach is great, the Gardners actually put the concept into action. They take you step by step through financial statements and number crunching. It is an excellent learning tool.

Howver I don't like that the answers are written write next to the question. (Kind of defeats the whole purpose.) I also think its ok to have some humor in a book but this one is overloaded ...

This book is great, really ... how many investment books (especially for us novices) actually impart useful knowledge to the reader while also making him/her laugh? That's what keeps the reader reading, rather than drowning in a sea of completely dry text (pretty much any other book) they are instead led to the next page out of enjoyment.
