Jason: I'm more of a day trader, but purchased this book on the recommendation of a friend to learn more about fundamentals to help with my trading. Let me tell you this book is the perfect place to start for a beginner.
This book sums up the information from Warren Buffet's three favorite books in the simplest way possible. While it's impossible to cover everything, the information I learned is valuable. This book is explained in a great story-telling like way with examples that paint a beautiful picture. As an added bonus there are links to Preston's website that goes over some of the topics in more depth.
The perfect book for a beginner!

Jimmy the Fish: This is fuill of all you need to start analysing companies reports and assessing whether the share price and future of the business is worth an investment. Teaches you how to do your homework. You shouldn't even consider buying or trading shares before reading this. No other books needed. Buy it. Don't lend it out - I'm on my fourth coipy.

justyndm: Pysh has created more than a book here. He has architected an informational community to smash the fears of investing that so many people have with a hammer of data, numbers and process that I personally was looking for. My biggest comment for potential readers like you is that you cannot only read this book if you expect to fully learn and undergo the phenomenal informational deep-dive that Pysh presents. You must take the time to read each chapter, follow up with each of the free videos that go through further explanation of the chapter, do the free exercises and examples, and use the free website for further information. This will take A LOT of time, but it's worth it. For many, taking meticulous notes may be a really good idea to centralize the key teachings they need. The free site also has a great discussion forum that is pretty active and gives even more information for people to develop a progressive understanding of the investment strategies. I want to underscore that all of this additional information on Pysh's site is FREE and work with the content in the book. You do not have to pay for anything, and there are no subscriptions.
Having read many investment books...

David Boyne: Yes, the title and marketing posture is shamelessly mercenary, calculated to cash-in on the Buffet name and brand.
Yes, the first section really and truly is about a kid running a lemonade stand.
But.
I'm glad I bought and read the book.
Surprisingly, given the bait and switch of using Buffet's name and branding and given that his three "favorite" books are barely mentioned, their content not delved into, and serve only as launching points -- the author has written an honest and sincere book.
I'll repeat that: This is an honest and sincere book.
And useful.
If, like me, you grew up without anyone actually TEACHING you about money, let alone stocks and bonds, the extended and hookey lemonade stand metaphor actually works. You WILL learn the fundamentals of stocks and bonds by examining the kid's adventures in retailing lemonade. (Our schools still do not teach students about money. Osmosis is good for nourishing plants, but if you really want to help people avoid poverty and pain and dependency, teach them about money; what it is, why it is, how it can be used. This author seems to be attempting to do just that, and for those...

SM: I have read the Security Analysis (multiple editions) and Intelligent Investor. They are classics. However, they are sometimes a bit dry to read. And reading those books and comprehending them take time. There is no shortcut to learning and I do not think this book even pretends to be a copycat of those books. Where this book really shines that it gives a very good (and actually pretty thorough) introduction to value investing. It is also very enjoyable to read - in fact, I cannot keep it down. There are free videos to boot. What's not to like? Do not expect any shortcut to make money, or suggestions on what securities to buy, or tips or tricks. This is not the book for that. But if you read this book, you will have an excellent introductory idea about what value investing is about and surely you can build on that. In fact, I will go so far as to recommend reading this book before you start reading Graham's works - I think doing so will help you understand Grahams book better. I am a software engineer working in the insurance industry and just finished my MBA corporate finance class. I am pretty well versed with financial analysis, investing and valuation. I learnt a few things...

deepakl: I liked the stories and personalisation of concepts for better grasp of ideas. Good for beginners. Didn't know why and how fleeting refrence of Adam Smith or wealth of nation fits into the text.
