Liar's Poker

This is a weird situation... I read tons of investment stuff... but, I actually missed out this very popular book, LOL. In fact, it was on my shelf long time ago. However, it never came across my mind to grab it...Now; I think time is just right as I got very limited books on investment to choose from...

At the end; well, not a bad choice of book to know what a trader's life is like inside a major Wall Street firm! In fact, this is a book full with humors and hilarious. The author did so well that I think majority readers would find it easy to digest the whole book.

However, I started to get bored with things happened in 1980's. In fact, after reading so many books on investment, this topic does not attract me anymore. Besides, the author tends to drag and repeat in certain chapters. Things get worse when the author tried to explain history of various peoples in Salomon Brothers. Gosh... honestly, I am not keen to explore so much of details, LOL.

Overall, I think I did pick up some great stuff here and there throughout the whole book. However, it is definitely not my cup of tea. In fact, I felt bored at times with the dull explanation which I do not think is needed in the first place. As such, for a full rating of 10, I am going to rate it at 4. Frankly, I think I prefer "Moneyball" & "Flash Boys"...
