2.0 out of 5 stars Lacks Practicality, 17 Sep 2004
Most of this book traces the development of how brainteasers and other puzzles found their way into Investment Banking, consulting-type interviews. This in itself is not very useful, although there are 2 chapters dedicated to the actual brainteasers often used in banking interviews and their answers.

There isn't much on how you should actually answer these questions in order to impress your interviewers.

The upside of this book is that the chapter containing the brainteasers probably covers all the brainteasers you'll ever 'bump' into during typical Wall Street/City interviews.
