surprisingly good.

Frankly, I ordered this on a lark, being interested in market cycles and generally trying to collect any literature on the subject. But, hey! I found the book to be darn good. The writing style was very readable. The ideas presented were clear, logical and not over my head. All in all, very useful and worthwhile. A very nice introduction to market cycles and how to discern and use them.
