Editorial Reviews

Review

'At last! A book about investing that doesn't read like an instruction leaflet for a computer! Maitland takes you with him every step of the way: prepare to laugh, learn ... And bite your nails. Excellent stuff.' -- ADAM FAITH 'The most entertaining financial publication I have read in ages . .. The story of the Maitland portfolio is fascinating ... 225 pages of fun and investor lessons to be learned therein' -- Terry Bond, Independent 'His efforts... are chronicled in laugh-out-loud diary entries that owe much to Adrian Mole. The whole adventure zips along at a blistering pace. Many of the insights are so spot-on...' -- Frank Fitzgibbon, The Sunday Times 'Jonathan Maitland is absolutely the last person I would set loose in cyberspace with money ... Don't read this anywhere near a mouse that can click. Terrifying' -- Charles Nevin, Independent --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars A diary of the author's attempt to earn a million in LSE, June 22, 2003

This review is from: How to Make Your Million from the Internet (Paperback)

This is by no means a trading book nor investment book. I should have saved my time and money if I knew that the author had written another book "How to Have a No 1 Hit Single: (And What to Do If You Don't)". I later found that the author was a TV broadcaster and just took the advantage of the internet bubble to write something for the mass market.

Anyway, the title and the editorial review in both the front and the back cover is quite misleading. What's worse, it is not interesting nor helpful at all with the lukewarm writing of the author's trading experience. Unless you are a fan of the author, dont put your hard earned money and your tolerance to the test.
