Pros:
- Demonstrated various ways on how people do their financial gimmicks to look good even at bad times.
- Explanation is easy to grasp.
- Highly creative and mind blowing!
- Various real life examples to help relate to real world situations, even in companies that you thought were clean.
Cons:
- Too judgemental and unforgiving in some cases. Disagree with some "finger pointing" during the case study.
- Too whiny to the point of annoyance. Various "blind man can also see methods" can be done without in my opinion.
- Book is well structured but also messy at the same time. One case study can be repeated several times. Helpful if you actually remember all the case studies mentioned beforehand.
Conclusion:
I would recommend this book, but not for beginners. Some form of financial or accounting knowledge is required. (less)
