3.0 out of 5 stars A book that can not stand on its own, 10 Feb 2006
By A Customer
At no point while reading this book did I manage to steer away from the idea that the book was written in a hurry. Although it has so much potential and it tries to address all the right issues, the book fails its cause in many instances. The author tries to explain relatively complex issues but without breaking them down to simple ones. Although he tries to follow a structure from simple to complex he misses on a few elements and you are left wondering which bit did I not read? Simply put, that bit is just not there. In that way, time and time again you find yourself having to refer to other books so as to be able to understand what this one is trying to say. It misses many bits that you can only fill in elsewhere. For me, it was confusing and frustrating. It is a real pity, because the author seems to know what he is talking about, he just fails to put it down on paper clearly. I think this is where a co-author or a good proof reader could have come in handy...It takes a lot of effort trying to understand the ideas presented and you are always left believing that someone must have come in and taken one or two sentences away from the paragraph that you are reading. In my opinion, this can not be a begginer's book (although it is supposed to be) as you have to read somewhere else to get the basic idea and then come here to learn just a bit more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and filled with practical detail, 14 Jun 2005
This book is a most useful addition to the literature on the subject. It is much more practitioner oriented than most texts, while still retaining the necessary mathematics.

The treatment of the relationship between CDS spread and bond spread (the "basis" ) is thorough - and not readily found
elsewhere. Unlike other treatises this book also extensively describes the risk side - reserving policies and the like.
In particular the discussion on correlation hedging of CDO tranches I found interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good coverage, 1 Sep 2005
By Th Choudhury - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very good beginner/intermediate level book - I found it very useful as a overview type book. It covers a lot of areas such as what constitutes a correlation matrix (which a lot of books -even those more mathematically more advance skip details on)
