Overall knowledge of futures markets

I like the book as a whole. But if you're looking for some sort of technical education on futures, this is not the book. Very insightful on futures as a whole and good stories

Entertaining and educational

excellent

Great read. Personal childhood stories intertwined were fun and kept the book interesting. Would recommend to others.

Educational, Insightful, AND Entertaining!

The author does an excellent job of bringing life, humor, and valuable insights communicated via applicable personal experiences to help readers gain a better understanding of the futures market past, present and purpose. This book stands apart from reading other (in my opinion boring) economic books on the topic. The author does so by maintaining the readers engagement by being himself and not shying away from the humorous adventures that bring substance to life. Thank you Steve Irwin and thank you Jack Hunter for the insights.
