Critic reviews

"I am an eager reader of whatever Phil [Fisher] has to say, and I recommend him to you". (Warren Buffett)

Good enough

Good enough, but would rather wait for a complete version instead of the abridged one.

Decent introduction on growth stocks

you might require read much more as a growth stock investor though the general guidelines are good it's kind of a bird's eye view.

My Slightly Sarcastic But Ultimately Honest Book Rating System:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 Stars): This book achieved legendary status in my personal library. I will likely reread it until the pages fall out (or my e-reader spontaneously combusts). Consider this my enthusiastic endorsement – you should probably read it unless you actively dislike joy.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 Stars): A truly excellent read! I enjoyed it immensely and would heartily recommend it to fellow bookworms. You might even catch me subtly pushing it into their hands.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 Stars): Yep, it was a book I read. I turned the pages, absorbed the words, and emerged...unchanged. It was a pleasant enough journey, like a scenic detour that you wouldn't necessarily take again, but didn't regret.
⭐️⭐️ (2 Stars): This book existed. I finished it. That's about the highest praise I can offer. If you're looking for something truly captivating, maybe keep scrolling. This one's more of an "it filled the silence" kind of experience.
⭐️ (1 Star): Oh dear. This book and I did not get along. It was a literary tumbleweed in the vast desert of good books. Consider this a strong "do not recommend," unless you're conducting research on what not to do in storytelling.

Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed. I only leave 5 stars for books I've read/listened to or will read/listen to multiple times. If you like this review please consider giving it a Helpful Vote below.

Well spoken

Probably the most well spoken book on investing I have ever heard. Some of the english is pretty old school, and the author words things rather poetically, but his style of writing allows a reader to get the main points across easily. Chapters such as “15 points” and “five things not to do” make the book unambiguous. I suggest you to slow the book down though because the narrator is a very fast reader for such an old way of speaking.

great Insight on investing smart it is a must that

I listen to this again so my knowledge will grow thank you audible great work
