Inside Wall Street,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sobel inside Wall Street (Hardcover)
This book wasn't very good. In fact, I hated it! It was really boring and the only reason I read it was because my mom made me. She said she wanted me to learn about stock exchange. But oh well. Other people might like it, but I sure didn't!
