Review on the reviews,
First of all I don’t read the book. My review is not on the book but on the reviews itself. So, if you don’t want to read my review, this is the place to stop.
Still here? OK
The reviews available to this date have some common things that I found… strange
Let’s see:
- All the five reviews were written on a period of one month, ending on april 21, and then… silence.
- All reviews have 5 stars
- All reviews have about the same length
- Look at the words used: “fantastic!”, “by far the best book on options “, “great book for beginners but an even better book for the seasoned trader” (?) by the way, this last one was written by a person who did only 1 review
- 3 of the 5 reviews were written by people with only 1 book review, and the ones with more than 1 review, did no other reviews on options books. There in only one review on “The complete idiot’s guide to options” (By the same person who said this is the best book on options)
Well, all the things listed above get me very suspicious.
This is the kind of reviews that get me away from the books, instead of towards it. Make your on judgment…

|Nothing new here,
I agree with both of the dissenting (less than 5 star) reviewers.
This book really offers very little insight into trading the functional differences between underlying stocks and commodities. The examples in the book do use commodities for calculation purposes and this does give the reader some insight into planning trades. But no real substance arises in this book in regard to what the important differences are between trading options on stocks and commodities other than references to the probably more pervasive trading ranges of commodities. This can be summarized in one sentence. It does not take a whole book to make that point.
The vast majority of the material reviews option trading strategies using underlying commodities. In other words, other than using a lot of commodity-based examples, very little if any new information is presented in this book. Seasoned options traders will not gain any new perspectives.
I also agree with the interesting observation by the 1 star reviewer. The 5 star rave reviews have a suspicious similarity.
