Title: Disappointing: Repeating the same idea all along
Review: This book could be half of its actual size. The author states his ideas in the first part and then just repeat them all along in the second part. For example, there are two chapters on extreme value theory, one in the first part and the other on the second part both telling basically the same story (and both very simplistic by the way). Perhaps he thinks that by repeating the ideas the reader would catch his message. The part of the book that it is not pure repetition waste space with the "most famous operational losses" with no further analysis but just stating them. There is also no indication on the author's bio whether he has any real-life experience in operational risk to write a book on the subject. Hence, his ideas to measure and model OR might just not work at all. The industry is still waiting for a good book in operational risk.
