I have been looking for a book on hedge funds that is to the point, concise, easy to understand and grasp and I finally found it in Getting Started In Hedge Funds. The book provides a unique look at where hedge funds came from, how the industry evolved and gives insightful information about managers. The profiles are very interesting and provide a unique look at how money is managed. It is easy to read and worthwile for anyone who wants to learn more about these types of investment vehicles. Rating: 5 / 5

The problem with this book is that anyone who knows anything about hedge funds will find it too simplistic. And anyone who knows nothing about hedge funds probably should not be playing around with this class of investment.

The biggest issue I had with this book is that, as an introduction, it should have provided more information about how one goes about actually investing in hedge funds; how one can find information on specific funds, how to deploy assets, etc. This is a how-to book without the how. Rating: 3 / 5

This is a good book about a difficult subject. The information is in a clear and concise easy to read format. I enjoyed reading this book. Rating: 5 / 5

I checked out this book mainly because I went to College with Strachman. Although I do not think it is very helpful, I am surprised at all the furror it seems to evoke.Hey, this is not a Pulitzer Prize contender-just a tiny book that does not tell very much! Enough-get a life! Rating: 1 / 5
