But as soon as he starts talking about his years at Fidelity it gets interesting. The most instructive chapters are those in which he dissects the reasons that prompted him to recommend 21 companies in Barron's magazine in 1991.
For each title we redid the menu pros and cons, explains the important indicators it looked. This is very useful to learn some industries and allows the reader to see in detail the investment process, a method. But there is nothing very formal or very square (which personally seems normal because companies analyzed by Lynch belong to very different sectors of activity).
That said Lynch had an undeniable advantage over amateurs, he could (and probably still can) call any CEO and have it in a minute, which will probably never be the case for us.
I recommend this book because Lynch really puts his hands in the cambuis, we learn useful methods and information for the amateur investor and you never get bored. Not to mention that 12 the price is very reasonable compraison of many book on investment.
