Comprehensive and worth reading,
By
This review is from: Investments (Hardcover)
I use this book for my Investments course at Dartmouth, and I find it to be a very useful companion text. It is extremely comprehensive, with sections on pretty much everything you would want within this sphere. it is also relatively readable, with a logical layout and good explanations for most of the main points. The downsides is that it is very expensive, although no ore so that other similar texts. Overall, it comes very recommended for those who wish to develop a strong understanding of capital markets and investing.

Doesn't Facilitate Learning,
This review is from: Investments (Hardcover)
Overall, I am not impressed by this textbook. First, I would like to say that I am a college junior at a good Big Ten university with a high interest in Finance hoping to pursue a career in Investment Banking. I used this book in my 2nd Finance class, and I found it to be of minimal usefulness. The authors go very into depth even in relatively simple concepts, making the reading laborious and uninteresting. If you enjoy knowing how to derive simple formulas it may be useful for you, but for someone who isn't interested in academia, it is simply not that informational. The examples are tedious and, frankly, not helpful. There was whole paragraphs and pages in which I stopped and said "wow, this didn't teach me a thing." Chapters are very long and reading a whole one in a sitting will be a true test of your patience. I have seen and read other finance books that managed to make the subject much more interesting and much simpler. When a reading from this book was assigned I truly dreaded it, because I knew that it wouldn't facilitate my understanding of the concepts and was likely just to make me more confused.
