Invaluable...despite the somewhat odd style for a book on investing, 6 Nov 2009

The Little Book that Beats the Market was quite an unexpected read, to say the least. On one hand I can see the benefits of its humorous, simple, story-telling style for those who are new to investing, financial markets, company reports etc. On the other hand, for somewhat more sophisticated and experienced investors, Greenblatt's writing style may be a bit off-putting and misplaced, so understand that the chief purpose of the book is to make a complex matter simple and enjoyable for laymen.

Well worth seeing!, 26 Sep 2008

This is a surprisingly good horror movie with several extremely gory scenes but also very decent acting (for a horror movie at least!) and a story line that makes sense and is quite believable.

If the acting and story line were better this would have been the best horror movie ever. Still, well worth buying for fans of extreme violence/gore cinema. Forget pathetic movies like Hostel (with barely 3 minutes of scary stuff in the whole movie), or seriously outdated and laughable stuff like Cannibal Holocaust. Barricade… Read more
