    I enjoy translating complex financial topics critical to people's everyday life in language that can be easily understood. I do this through my non fiction "how to" books for the Dummies series and the Idiot's Guides. I have more than 35 books on the market including Bookkeeping for Dummies, Reading Financial Reports for Dummies and Trading for Dummies. Prior to writing books, I've worked as a daily newspaper reporter, a magazine editor, a press secretary for a U.S. Congressman and a fund raiser for former President Jimmy Carter, so he can continue his international work through The Carter Center. I earned my MBA at Emory University's Goizueta Business School and my BA at Rutgers University.

    This book drilled straight to the critical points. Context was offered to provide a framework instead of just pieces of information.

    The book itself was just as complicated as a financial report. It must be used just like a text book and is not good for finding quick answers. In other words, go ahead and use a textbook - buying this won't help.
