Having read Cramer's previous three books, I was really looking forward to this new release. I had especially enjoyed "Confessions of a Street Addict" which is very well written.By contrast, "Mad Money" is a sloppy and terribly boring piece of writing. It is repetative in the extreme and relies heavily on filler to make it into a book-length treatise. The advice is okay, but getting to it is painful. And ocassionally the advice is just plain nonsensical.Since this book came out, Cramer gave an interview where he seemingly admitted to manipulating futures and stocks for his own gain. Perhaps before taking advice from this cult hero, you should view the video. You can see it on YouTube. Just search on the word: Cramer.
