Title: A Very Good Starter Book
Review: I highly recommend this book. As someone with a pretty good math background who has read through other textbooks on modern finance and left with the uneasy feeling that I didn't really understand what was going on, Prof. Netftci's book was the first to give me an understanding of the big picture. Certainly it is short on details, but it is not meant to be a handbook--get that kind of information from something like Hull's book. I really like the way he puts in the simple version of the arbitrage theorem at the beginning, which in itself let me understand many pricing manipulations that had previously seemed like voodoo. Read this book and you'll be in a good position to decipher the rest of them.
