Wow. This book is my reference book in the office. The tools and tricks are crazy!

Very interesting book. Jordan clearly knows his stuff and more importantly he and Chandoo are very capable writers. It's a technical subject but, still keep it interesting.

Read this instead of Jordan's other book, both are superb but most of the other is in here verbatim, that said, Taleb says a book isn't worth reading once unless its worth reading twice so that's what I did here.

I really should not be giving this book any ratings - so far, it's too advanced for me! Hope to return to it a little later....
