Just felt like I was reading someone being defensive for 200 pages straight. Not fun. The buildup at the start are just defensive justifications for the latter half.

This book felt like the author wanted to spill his politics into the pages but was not allowed to so just changed the title and added some details here and there relating to the title and then went ahead with his initial idea of spilling his politics onto the pages.

First five chapters are fantastic, a good intro on investing and teaches you the good stuff on getting an idea on how and when to invest. The ‘magic formula' afaik, does not work any longer for a plethora of reasons and it isn't something I would use. I wouldn't read this book for the formula or some secret trick to the market but more so to rather get a general understanding of the market as a beginner. The first five chapters do do the market justice in that regard.

Incredible.

Perfect for a student who wants to pursue computer science / programming. It covered everything I learned in a whole year in my Computer Science degree in a distilled and fun way.

An easy read, loved it. Simple and emotional.
