The worst Reacher book

Revisado: 12-15-21

Well, it’s the worst until Andrew Grant began collaborating. Then they’re way worse.

Story is not credible.

It’s possible that the print version is better. This narrator makes you despise every single character. I’m a die hard Reacher fan and I can’t get past the awful narration that makes you want to knock the tone of voice right out of the mouth of every character.

If you must, buy the paperback.

Jack Reacher gone woke!

Revisado: 10-18-21

If the idea of Jack Reacher praising Antifa and embracing every single lefty talking point doesn’t make you want to vomit, you may like this book.

This is about as intellectually lazy as you can get.

And it’s apparent that most reviews are fake. I’m an ex military officer myself and I know the profile of most JR fans. No chance in hell that over 80% of JR fans think this is a good book.

Jack Reacher is another casualty of 2020.

Buy the printed version!

Revisado: 08-06-21

If you already know the benefits of autophagy and looking to reinforce what you know, then buy this book. It should hold your attention. There is some good stuff in here and it’s worth a read. Some advice conflicts with what I’ve read from other sources, but that’s par for the course.

Notice that I said “it’s worth a read”. If you have access to a semi-literate middle schooler at your house, have him read it to you instead. The narration could only be flatter if you had a computer read it to you. And the middle-schooler would likely do a better job with pronunciation.

I guess on the bright side, I DID finish the book in spite of the below average narration. (I checked, this guy has actually been hired for other books. Must donate his time. Certainly no one would pay this guy.)

Great start- pointless finish.

Revisado: 04-09-17

If the moral of the story is that life has no meaning - mission accomplished!

It doesn't help that it was read by a monotone. Maybe someone who can read could have given the characters some personality.

3 stars only because I love time travel books.

Solid performance but bad story

Revisado: 01-24-16

The writing was terribly one dimensional. Every character was boring. I didn't care what happened to a single character.

Many have criticized the science. Well, that didn't bother me so much. It was just a boring story that left me in a depressed mood at the end.

Who will like this? If you LOVE the idea of time travel so much that you read ANYTHING that has anything to do with it, you may enjoy it. (I thought I was one-guess not).
**SPOILER**Or you may enjoy it if life has no meaning apart from man's definition of meaning and the idea of man (only the elect few mind you) becoming "immortal" with no greater will than his own.

Performance was solid. You just can't do much with bad writing and intellectually lazy philosophy.

Well presented strategies.

Revisado: 09-25-12

Buy this book if you already have decent options knowledge. If you don't speak the "options language", you might have a hard time understanding the strategies.

Not that this book isn't for a beginner, it's that the audio version isn't for a beginner. A beginner will need to see all the charts he is describing in the book to really understand how to place these trades.

Now, if you're already familiar with calls, puts, OTM, ATM, ITM, strike price, and all the other vocab you have to know to trade options, then you can probably handle the audio version.

He outlines 4 main strategies in the book:

DITM calls with a delta of .9 or higher. (The "D" in DITM stands for deep)
Option credit spreads. i.e. bull put spreads/bear call spreads
Selling naked puts.
Writing covered calls.

If you have already done all these things, the book is still worth checking out. He really explains Delta well and also gives some really good clues and insight on using volatility to your advantage.

There is also a great chapter on what life is like being a market maker. Great stuff in that chapter.

So, can you get rich doing this? Of course! Can you go to the poor house in a hurry doing this? Of course! If you're a person who is writing covered calls in order to collect high premiums without really wanting the underlying stock, you need this book. You will learn how to better hedge that strategy so you don't get hammered. Trust me, I've done that.....and I got HAMMERED! Do your homework on the underlying, hedge your position, and you won't get creamed. Honestly, if your goal is to beat the market average every year, you could easily do it with the strategies outlined in this book. I've done it for years and I'm getting better returns now that I am using the advice in this book.

He doesn't candy coat anything. He makes it very clear what the worst case scenario of each trade is. Don't selectively listen, do your homework and don't lose your retirement trading options.

One final note, he does plug a few websites that are pay sites. Reviewers on other websites nailed him for this in their reviews of this book. You do not have to have his pay site to implement his strategies. He also spends a good amount of time telling you where you can get option advice for FREE on the web so I don't know why those reviewers beat up on him so much for plugging his site. He points you to more than enough free resources to be fully informed on his strategies.

Good luck.
