Title: 1 Star Reference Book
Review: "Reviewers" of this book are clearly bimodal, 5 stars or 1 star. I really don't think any technical textbook could be rated 5 stars by anyone other than the author touting the book--Tom Clancy perhaps, but not a bone dry technical book. The value of a great technical text is one that offers some great insight, which this book does not, or one that covers the subject matter in such a thorough, fundamental and unbiased matter as to be considered a reference text. On the second measure, the author in her book and speechs to the industry seems to opine that structured financial products are a instruments fraught with risk. As such, I seriously doubt this text will have the legs to become an industry ready reference book. In the distribution of ratings on this book-- love it (touting) or dislike-- I rate this a 1 star text book; spend your money elsewhere.
