Book Reviews of Invest Like a Shark: How a Deaf Guy with No Job and Limited Capital Made a Fortune Investing in the Stock Market
Book Review: A Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a surprisingly mediocre book. And I say that as someone who respects James DePorre a great deal. When I finished the book (in about two hours, and I'm a slow reader) I found myself asking, "where's the beef?"
There's not much beef here. It's very simplistic. It's a pedestrian read, which feels as if it were written in about a weekend, as if a publisher said, "hey Jim, you're popular now, why not write a book real fast and we can make some money?" No humor, no style, no real imagination.
Again, I really respect RevShark. I have been reading his work for years on RealMoney. His columns are witty, insightful, and literate. But his book reads as if it were written for a first-grader, and a slow first-grader at that.
I don't understand it. The only explanation I can come up with, was that it was written by someone else. Shockingly mediocre. Save the money on the book, and subscribe to RealMoney, and read RevShark's columns on the web site. It will be money much better spent.
