Invested

This is hard to rate, so I'm leaving it at a solid 3.

First of all, I listened to the audiobook narrated by Danielle Town, with occasional comments by her father, Phil Town.

There are some helpful points in this book. For example, this is the clearest explanation I've had yet about evaluating the cost of a stock and the psychology you need behind buying/selling. Specifically on understanding that it's not just about the price right now, but a mix of the future cost and what you are losing by inflation.

Now to the negatives. There was so much personal story intertwined with the educational material. It felt like the book couldn't decide what it wanted to be: biography or educational book. Personally, I would have preferred 1/2 of the biography conversations be cut. They weren't necessary and took away from the useful information that the audience is here for.

Overall, I was unimpressed with the majority of the book, but there were some key points that I'm grateful to have read. The best way I can describe it is: far from perfect, but still provides some useful information.
