My review

This book "The Life in the Financial Markets" is a kind of biography from
Daniel Lacalle. He takes the readers on the first row of the complexity
of the Financial Markets.

I enjoyed this 'inside' look. I will recommend this book to people who
like to know more about investing money. 

Because it's more a biography than learning everything about the system,
I want to give this book a 4 star rating on 5.
