Book Review: Dé Jà Vu
Summary: 2 Stars
This second edition is not materially different in content from the first. Additionally, the Learning Outcome Statements that once preceded the chapters in the first edition and the exercises that followed the chapters have been removed from the new edition. Had I known this fact, I wouldn't have purchased a new book. There is a companion book that has those two omitted features, but now your buying two books instead of one.
If you are pursing the CFA designation, then my suggestion is to purchase the first edition on the secondary market at a drastic savings and without loss of content. If you are interested in the content of the book, then I would suggest proper books on the subject matters. Taken individually, the individual chapters are extremely weak. The actual mathematics has been replaced by "feel good" qualitative descriptions. It is all quite pathetic really; however, if you're objective is to pass the exam, then do it their way for six months. Once you're done, sell your first edition book on the secondary market.
With regard to the other new releases, I suspect that they don't have Learning Objective Statements or problems included in the main book. Hence, the secondary market is a great place to obtain previous editions and continue the process once again. Thank you.
