I'm a regular long-term viewer of CNBC, and have always appreciated the reports from Bob Pisani, so I welcomed the opportunity to review an ARC of this book. My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity.

If you enjoy reading books about investing and what goes on in the markets you will enjoy this book. However, that's just the short version. Pisani literally takes you on an autobiographical tour of the New York Stock Exchange and how it is has evolved over the years, which in itself is a fascinating ready. Readers will get a deep and full understanding of the impact of electronic trading, the rise of index funds and ETFs, and many, many other bits of knowledge.

Sprinkled throughout the book are Pisani's own reflections of how he invests, the many fascinating people he has met over the years, and how investors should think about the markets and their portfolios.

Very enjoyable and informational read. Highly recommend it. I give it 4.3 stars rounded to 4 only because some parts of the book contained some repetitive information and a few chapters were highly technical and in need of some charts or other data to follow the presentation..

Fans of CNBC will really enjoy this book. Bob Pisani has been a staple of the channel for over 30 years. In this book, he provides a glimpse behind the curtain of the NYSE floor. His antecdotes about various guests were interesting. I particularly enjoyed reading about Pisani's investing philosophy. I appreciated that he specifically described his investments down to the fund names. At times the book felt a little disjointed as he skipped around between describing personal anecdotes vs historical trends in the stock matket. However, overall I really enjoyed the subject matter.

I could not get through this book. I tried several times. It just went nowhere. I don’t want to penalize the author, so I will not be leaving a review on any of my regular sites. Sorry.
