Book Reviews of Unconventional Success: A Fundamental Approach to Personal Investment

Book Review: Very good perspective
Summary: 4 Stars

Swensen is undeniably a realist and a cynic at the same time. I read this book as part of my MBA program and found his perspective very interesting and insightful. I now have a much better understanding of the overall investment business and why there are so many hand tailored suits on Wall Street. By reading this book, you will be able to choose your investment vehicles with both eyes open.

The only negative is he could have made his message easier to understand without forcing the use of every word in the English dictionary.
