I was hoping for a clear, concise guide from an expert in the subject that is a good writer, but this was not the case. The book contains some good information, but the writing is not good and the information is not well organized (lots of wandering). The author also tries to be "cute" in some areas (Top 10 things you don't want to hear from . . .) and it just slows you down without any benefit. I would hope there is something better out there . . .

This book repeats itself in many places, and the author makes numerous comments that would indicate she is an industry pretender rather than truly experienced.

There are comments about, "this new interesting medium called the internet". The book was published in 2006? How can a forward looking person be so clueless?
There are numerous comments about embedding and "hiding" fees in various charges. This is not a sign of a person who "gets" what is happening to this industry.

The details about distribution, and regulatory filings are decent.

This book could be a long article. There is very little information that is useful to an actual practitioner.

Looking to start a mutual fund... gave me a lot of great insight into what the necessary steps are.
