Query: Slim Pickings

This book contained passages where the same language was repeated. Fully the last third of the book was appendices. The book does not provide any war stories and as such it has about as much interest as a due diligence checklist with a glossary of terms. The book's main advice which it repeats ad nauseum is to "start planning early" which is probably true but also a platitude. The book analyzed IPO performance from recent offerings, but the analysis only looks at the IPO bubble era making the applicability of the results to today's situation highly dubious. I FELT THIS BOOK WAS A BAD USE OF MY MONEY.
