1) I do not think this is a good "Getting Started" book. I'd recommend the Dummies series as a first book. It's simple, to the point and much more organized. If this is the book you start with, you will end up more confused.
2) I honestly can say I do not think I picked up one piece of useful information from this. Granted this isn't the first book I read so maybe there's a point in there somewhere that someone might get... but not me.
3) Bad writing. I can see where there was potential in some things he wrote to be useful, but it just didn't come across that way. No offense meant to Archer. He is, after all an active TRADER (at least according to the back cover) and not a writer, but the writing makes it difficult to get through.
I only read this because my mom got it for me. I wouldn't have bought this book myself.
