Review title: Not elementary, not globally focused Product review: This book purports to be elementary and easy to understand. It also claims to introduce the reader to global finance. In fact, it does neither particularly well.The language is unnecessarily ponderous and unclear, which is a shame. Finance doesn't need to be so academic, boring and confusing. The author does little to welcome neophytes into the financial world, and a lack of interesting visuals and examples doesn't help matters.Furthermore, much of the book's focus is on generic markets (stocks, futures, etc.), rather than on global (overseas) markets. And so there isn't enough attention to the characteristics and peculiarities of foreign markets. Similarly, the major topics of global finance, that one might reasonably expect to be the meat of such a titled book, are mostly left to just one chapter (Global Finance) of 24 pages!The book just doesn't fit the bill of a good introduction to global finance.

Review title: Fantastic Movie Product review: This is a movie worth watching and then sharing with all of your friends. The performances are great, it is well directed, and it shows a side of immigration I think we can all learn from. I have turned a lot of people onto this film and everyone has called to thank me. A rare gem of a movie!

Review title: Book written by condemned pedophile Product review: As the previous reviewer points out, Roger Took is a convicted pedophile. See Spectator article (although be warned, it is hard to stomach the details of his atrocious activities). Amazon should withdraw this book from sale. I gave the book one star because this system doesn't allow you to give no stars.

Review title: Useful, but out of date Product review: I found this book useful in many aspects, but its dependance on the ActiveX Layout Control really holds it back. (alx doesn't work proprely in IE4 and MS isn't going to fix it either) It is just faced with the same problem as most other internet technology publications, which is that it goes out of date shortly after the ink dries.

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.
