Big Game James:
Even though Understanding Options by Michael Sincere purports to explain basic Options strategies to generate income, hedge, speculate, and protect stock positions, I found this book as dry and tedious as any book I've ever read. How dry and tedious? Well, it took me four years to get through this book (off and on), and I ended up more confused about trading options than when I began, especially when he got into straddles, strangles, iron condors, etc.
On the other hand, the author provides detailed information on buying and selling calls and puts and includes an informative interview with a professional options trader, Sheldon Natenberg, so I'm not saying the book is useless. It was just more tedious and repetitive than I expected. Anyway, add it all up, and it's 3.5 stars for me.

Micheal Sincere has written the greatest book about options. It is written with easy language to understand. I love it. If you want to learn about options in the U.S. stock market, this is the book you need to read. I look forward to reading his next book.

Education Forever:
The teaching techniques used in this book are superb, engaging the reader with multiple examples tying every-day real life experiences to trading strategies and techniques. Complexity of the material is presented step-by-step, each new topic building slowly on the last. The author is humorous, self-deprecating, and obviously has thorough and practical knowledge of the options market. You get the sense reading this book that Mr. Sincere cares deeply about his readers losing money; at every opportunity he points out potential dangers, and minces no words describing how quickly a portfolio can be lost.
The print quality is excellent. Fonts are comfortably large enough to be legible, and graphics are crystal clear and legible as well.
If you are a new trader, or one with limited experience, you could not find a better primer than this one. An experienced trader might find the information too basic, and yet there are gems of wisdom to be found even for the old hand.

I have been investing in common stocks, ETFs and mutual funds for a few years, but options were always intimidating. I have searched and read many “free” articles and pieces online. But nothing I have found put the whole package together for me and nothing I found breaks down actually how to make an options trade.
UNTIL NOW…
I received this book thinking ok, I will skim through and see what I can learn… but WOW, it actually is exactly what I have been searching for. I sat down and couldn’t peel away from this book today. As a true beginner, this book is written so clearly and the author has done a phenomenal job articulating what is perceived as a complex topic into terms and explanations I could read and understand. Granted, I have read plenty of other articles online, so had a basic understanding already, but this clarifies so much for me and validates what I thought I knew.
I agree with some reviews that this is not for those who have been trading options for years. This is not a book about how to put your actual personal strategy together. This book teaches what options are, how they work, how you place a trade (literally...
