This book is fairly well-written but is toned down to suit a mass audience. Of course, with such an approach, accuracy is sacrificed. However, this book was a decent read and it was not too dragging. It actually makes a quite boring discussion (at least for normal people) into something quite interesting. How can a quant book ever become a bestseller, right?! Well, I don't think that the book presents some of the finance concepts accurately. The discussion on market efficiency contained cherry-picked quotes, and does not truly present how the academe really views the theory of market efficiency. However, for the intended audience, this is clearly definitely not a big problem. Anyway, for those who want to read an interesting part of finance history and how financial derivatives got a bad name, you can benefit from reading this book.
