Topical discussion

Very little actionable information. It effectively tells you to hire professional advisors and surveys they high level topics that they'll go deep on. But I didn't get enough from the book to be able to interview and effectively select between prospective advisors.

Lots of corporate law in a compact form

Minute for minute, this is a great example of the audio format, and great value. It is a very extensive survey (and refresher) of many corporate issues, in plain, commonly used and understandable terms. I plan to re-listen to this from time to time. I notice there is one by this author on IPOs also and I'm anxious to hear it.

Exactly What I Hoped For

This book provides a very solid foundation of everything that needs to be considered in an M&A transaction. As it is advised in the book, a team of professionals needs to be assembled to insure a successful transaction, but reading this book a couple of times, will help you speak the language and understand what is going on at every step when working with your team.
