I have a feeling that regular assessment will bring some initial grumbling but will eventually make you beloved. I will spare you my rant on law-school pedagogy this time, though!

The Quants was way too casual in its approach--it felt like it was written by someone who didn't necessarily have a firm grasp of the technical concepts and thought he was writing for people who wouldn't spend the time to try to figure them out. Fool's Gold is better, or you could wait and see how the new Roger Loewenstein book that's coming out shortly is reviewed.
