Title: Very long on words; very short on actionable advice
Review: This book gives meaning to the word "filler." This 390 page book could have been boiled down to about 40-50 pages, perhaps less. But instead the authors filled it with gimmicky, extraneous filler to get to their point, which is ultimately not very prescriptively helpful. The authors arguably -- and I am not even sure of that -- succeed in getting investors to doubt certain pieces of conventional wisdom. But all they do is debunk. The whole second half of the book was meant to be constructive, to give investors real information that you can use. But when you get down to it, there is scarce little there. At bottom, this was a really annoying read and regrettably a waste of money.
Is the review positive or negative?
