1: Riddled with errors.
I found many errors in this book, especially in chapter 8, "The Calculating Trader", as well as some in other chapters. Unfortunately, if you don't catch these errors, this book will only confuse you more. If you do catch them, it will just annoy you. Granted, I have the first edition of this book (2005); hopefully these errors have been corrected in the new June 2008 second edition. I gave the book 2 stars because it does have some decent overview information in it.

2: Getting Started in Currency Trading
I originally bought this book in February 2007 after watching an infomercial on currency trading. This book is good for anybody who wants to start currency trading but dont know where to begin. After reading it, I was hooked.Now one year leter I am trading the currency market and now I am successful at it.
This book will give you the basic knowledge and foundation of the currency market.If you are someone who is already trading and have experience then this book is not for you.
Also once you read this book read it at least two more times.

3: Great overview of the market.
I have been trading currencies for about a year and a half now, and this was a great start to get a broad picture of the FX market.
This isn't a "dummies" step by step but it is a clear overview of trading in the currency market.
It could be written with a little more... excitement or novelty. It is a fairly clinical read. It isn't a good comparison but triple w dot babypips dot com is a fun version of the material in this book. They are not associated but the web site is a good primer for this read (or vise versa).
The basics are all covered and that makes it worth the price.

4: General Overview
This book is very true to its name, definitely for those of us who aren't experts at trading yet. The book is filled with a general overview of the forex world and I would say that this book should be the first one any novice picks up (even before babypips).

5: The best to begin with
After reading a ton of books, finally one that is really helpful in making a good foundation for you trading habits.
This book gives a lot of basic information about Forex (useful to those like me who wants to know everything about), good hints about risk and money management.
But if you want to study seriously, a must is the second title of the author Getting Started in Forex Trading Strategies (Getting Started In.....)
