Save your $ and time
Was dissapointed and not what I expected, largest section of the book was legal language examples for contracts, some repetative content. Lot of time spent citing websites and sources, which is good but makes for a bad audio book. www.blah-blah-blah, and www..... If you get this book buy the hardcopy. Its solid content for reference to do research, but its a waste of time as an audiobook. Sorry Mike.
Great topic, bad book
I am not for who sure who the book was written. As an investor, my hope was to provide insight about the oil and gas industry or current trends or at least information about different ways to effectively invest in oil and gas.
Instead it was an engineers view of the industry without any useful information to effectively buy investment in oil and gas. One useful section was 150 questions to ask a person selling oil, but even those questions seemed basic or technical questions rather than information to choose between good oil company stocks, oil versus gas investments, stocks versus exchange-traded funds, faster moving sectors within the oil and gas industry, etc.
In short, I found the book unhelpful and misleading based upon its title.
