Title: Very Interesting Life Hurt By Poor Writing and Editing
Product review: Jesse Livermore had an extremely interesting life. It is too bad, then, that Richard Smitten's biography of Livermore was so poorly written and edited. Smitten has the extremely bad habit of telling us in advance of major events in Livermore's life so that when we get to these events chronologically we have generally been told about them multiple times. Also, there are many references to people where names are incomplete or where a nickname is used and then noted on a later page. The best parts of the book concern Livermore's trading and his rules and they make the book worth readng despite its many weaknesses.
