Best book I came across to date on Property Financial Analysis
I was not sure if this book would work for me. I bought several other books on financial analysis, but I always found them either to be too dry or too complex. Gallinelli has the ability to get the scary formulas and maths and break it down to a level that can be understood. His style of writing is fun too. He puts in the occasional joke at the right moments when things start getting a bit ...

Quick and excellent read!
Well written and informative. Book is divided into short and very digestible chapters that focus on various aspects of financial reporting. I found the information on the future of the auditing and financial reporting industry following the downfall of Enron and Worldcom and the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley to be particulary timely and interesting.

When you begin to understand why you love to do things and hate to do others, you can begin to enrich your life to enhance ...

Great Primer (if a bit dated) on a Great Language
While getting a little long in the tooth (GINA was released pre-Groovy 1.0, Groovy is now above 1.5), the material presented in the book is still very relevant and helpful. The biggest issue is that some of the newer (and cooler!) features, such as ExpandoMetaClass, of the language are not covered. That being said, this is still a great introduction to the a language that will likely become an ...
