This book will definitely give the reader a solid background in the subject.

2 types of readers

If you are serious about finance, the book will reward you many times over. That I can pretty much guarantee.
If you are in finance as part of a cirriculum requirement, this book may become your nemesis.
This author finds the book to be comprehensive.
