Couldnt put it down.

Fascinating on many different levels! First, if you're at all interested in learning more about Wall Street, this is a great way to get an accurate, behind-the-scenes look at exactly what goes on at a hedge fund and on Wall Street. Much more educational than any "Investing For Dummies" book you'll ever read because you can see how situations play out in a real life setting.

Secondly, Jim Cramer is a brilliant man who has led an extremely successful and fascinating life. A complex story such as the one told in this book could easily be boring and tedious, but he makes his story exciting and suspenseful, and of course educational. He is a very talented writer and it makes reading this book a pleasure.

I couldn't put this book down! Everyone should read it!

A fun read.

Jim Cramer's Confessions of a Street Addict is a fun read, and I recommend it to all investing enthusiasts. Cramer fans and critics alike will appreciate this chance to see a different side of one of the most controversial figures in finance

The best part of the book is the saga of TheStreet.com. Everything that can go wrong at a fledgling dot-com does go wrong here, from a disastrous marketing campaign to Cramer getting sidelined by his own employees. I don't want to ruin the surprise here, but the chapter where Cramer learns the shocking truth about TheStreet.com's young, hotshot CEO is worth the price of the book alone.

I really admire the fact that, as successful as he is, he admits his own shortcomings with brutal honesty. Good reading.

The Best of Cramer

Not the book to actually learn trading strategies, but great to hear what it was like for Jim back on the street. A must have classic.

Loved it

This was a great book, there was not much to be learned form it about trading stocks and such. but more of how his life was when he ran his fun and how he became to get there and how he left the fund.

Confessions of a Genius

You'll be surprised what he actually went through in his life to get to the point of where he is right now based on his reckless behavior on his own TV show. Cramer is obviously very intelligent and he wrote a great story in his book to prove his point. I love reading about extremely resilient, and willing to succeed-type of people. Jim Cramer is one of them.
