Summary: Good, but stick with the original masters
Comment: Cunningham is a great thinker whose compilation of Warren Buffett's essays was a major contribution to this field, but this book falls short of the true classics.
Cunningham is at his best setting up a thoughtful framework for the ideas of Buffett and Graham, and adds useful case studies to illustrate the major principles. His discussions of chaos and probability theory are invaluable in thinking about individual stocks within the broader market environment.
However, I find he adds little original thought to the actual seeking out and analysis of great investments, and this books lacks the analytical rigor needed to make great decisions - which is ultimately what the title promises. I also found the section on corporate governance, while useful and on target, excessive relative to how little space is given to the objective analysis of specific companies.
I recommend sticking to the original masters - Graham (The Intelligent Investor), Buffett (Essays/Lessons for Corporate America, which Cunningham compiled) and Fisher (Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits) - for the best thinking in any market environment.

Summary: How To Think Like Benjamin Graham And Think Like Warren Buff
Comment: I am an 18 year old high school student who read this book for my economics class. I have recently opened an online investing account and have been working hard to learn all I can about the market and how to excel in it. I really feel that this was a great book for me since it covered everything about investing. If you are just getting into the market like me, I definitely suggest that you read this wonderful book since it really does give you that extra knowledge about the stock market that others dream to have. If you already know a ton about the market and investing, all I can tell you is that there must be something in this book that you will learn. Basically, here's my overall view. Read the book if you want to be different from all the other investors who think they know everything there is to know about the market. I also believe that this is a great investment of your money and time, since it is sure to help you in your future investments.

Summary: An introduction to Graham & Buffet's Value Investing
Comment: For any reader or beginner who likes to have a very brief idea of what Graham and Buffet preach on value investing, this book is okay.
In order to make the book readable and interesting, the author had chosen not to go into details of how but focus mostly on principles. About 35% of the book is spent, in text and no data/graph, on validating value over price as the primary consideration of any investment. I think that's far too much. That makes the part on the assessment of the true value of a stock too simple and short.
Anyway, this is just an introduction of value investing (like the first chapter in a 12 chapter book) and far from complete. Stronly suggest any aspired value investor or even trader to read the originals from Graham and Buffet for a full picture before they take up one of the most competitive and demanding job in the world.
