This book is the best book I've ever read about mutual funds. Eric Tyson does a remarkable job in explaining the complex world of mutual fund investing. Using a very friendly language, the author starts explaining the most common investment options (bonds, stocks, etc). Then, he explains what mutual funds are and why they are a terrific investment. Providing great detail, useful examples, and good advice, this book is a extremely valuable resource and a must-read for anybody interested in investing in Mutual Funds. Tyson is able to show not only his expertise in the subject but also how the intimidating world of investing may be accesible to anyone.

This book is very well-written, and provides and excellent approach for the novice to not-so-novice investor looking for explanations and advice. The book speaks to the reader in a logical, well-thought out manner rather than talking down to the reader. The advice seems sound and is backed up with research and doesn't sound "preachy" nor does it take a know-it-all approach. I recommended it to several people at the mutual fund company I work at so that those new to the business can get a better understanding of how things work
