Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐RIDICULOUS amount of misspelled words! This book is a total joke and basically completely incoherent throughout. The print on the graphs that are used for illustrations is way too small to interpret what message the author is trying to convey. Page 144 the author states that he will give a “refresher” covering indexes on the “next page” but the information is then covered in the next paragraph of THE SAME PAGE. Noone apparently cared even a little bit about editing or proofreading this book so when complicated topics concerning advanced option styles are addressed you cannot decipher or make sense of the information because you do not know if the author has just made even more mistakes on the topic being covered! The entire book is just some lame authors attempt to fill up 350 pages. You know that shirt you bought that was made in some basically unheard of region of the world and you got it home to realize that the tag had been mistakingly sewn onto the outside? This book is the equivalent to that shirt. I’m actually angry that I paid money for this trash. WORTHLESS

⭐The book is rife with grammatical errors. While I was able to discern what the author meant by the context of the sentence, the fact that this got through the proof-reading stage does not encourage me. I have only read the first 100 pages and can report that the first two chapters serve to direct readers to further chapters in the book; I assume this is common to the “Dummies” series but reading these introductory chapters was a waste of time. Lastly, the book would have been improved with some examples illustrating mathematical concepts. As advertised, the book may be a companion to the booklet your broker provides you when you are authorized to begin trading options but readers should expect to have to supplement this book with Internet research. Caveat Emptor.

⭐I’ve used Dummies books a lot in the past as they are usually great introductions to complicated things with which you have no familiarity. I had the same expectations of this book. The book isn’t especially well written or organized, and it isn’t a great introduction to options if you have no experience with them. The author dives into a lot of complicated strategies without first providing good explanations of the basic concepts. It’s also full of typos and grammatical errors.I was complaining about the book to a friend who’d had the same experience with it, and he let me borrow a copy of “Understanding Options” by Michael Sincere. “Understanding Options” is a great introduction: well organized, well written; it takes a nice linear approach to explaining the basics, and then employing them.Don’t waste your money on the Dummies book–get “Understanding Options” instead if you’re looking for an introduction to this subject.

⭐Options is an area that is very complex, and, if anything, the author dumbed it down too much. There are a lot of ways to make mistakes with options.This book does a good job of covering the basics and beyond. If you are having trouble understanding parts of it, don’t blame the book. The subject matter is difficult for those new to it. Take your time with this material. Unlike other areas of study, being wrong in options can cost you money. While the author lists some pros and cons with paper trading, I found it to be useful for my own learning. Look for a brokerage that offers this. This will also help you get used to the mechanics of opening and closing positions without risking actual money.Also, you do not have to master the numerous strategies discussed in the book to make use of options. You can buy single calls and puts and gain leverage while keeping thigs simple.The author has written more advanced books when you are ready to dig into the statistics more deeply.

⭐Good for even the most novices!! Read Natemberg’s Option Pricing and Volatility for advanced options trading.

⭐this book talks in circles really did not find a useful thing in it. it tells you the basics of puts and calls. which anyone can type in google and get a simple answer. not worth buying.

⭐great insight to the intro of options for beginners

⭐Good book for brokers and options traders to brush up on options basics and advanced strategies

⭐This book is NOT for Dummies, It is for, it says, those with experience. It lost me inside 15 pages. Therefore should NOT be part of the ‘for Dummies’ series. Very disappointed. Waste of money at such an early stage in my interest in trading options..

⭐Fair price, lots of info in an understandable presentation.

⭐great to start
