This is the second most over-rated book in all of finance*, yet it still should be on the shelf of every single person in the industry. Known universally simply as "Hull", this book is too dry, with too few details and too little mathematics, but it still pulls in the stars because of its fantastic breadth. This is also unambiguously the place for anyone beginning to learn the subject to begin. If you can work the problems at the end of each chapter in the book, you can get hired. The problem is More...

Brilliant. Or as my friend says "proper scientific founding in derivatives with which to loose money in the market" - the same guy who came up with the chapter wise exercises available in the 6th Indian Edition of this book.

An introductory textbook for someone interested in Futures & Options. The math is easy to grasp, Hull takes shortcuts while deriving some of the results in derivative theory but follows up with rigorous proofs in the appendix. I would have personally liked some more in de More...

This book delineates the mathematics of options and derivatives pricing very VERY well... too bad I wasn't smart enough to understand most of the more advanced concepts... har har har

Very good introductory textbook on derivatives markets. I'd strongly recommend solving problems at the end of each chapter.

Good for reference and digging deeper into a topic.
Not an introductory text.

It is a outstanding book for fundemental understandings of Derivatives.

salah satu buku S2 gw.buat yang mo belajar derivativ..mumet..mumet..

James Bond sleeps with a gun under his pillow. I sleep with OF&OD.

This book is regarded as the "Bible" for derivatives!! I agree!

This really is a great book. Obviously, there's a big "IF" here...

Dry and pedagogically poor presentation.

I have no options in the future

very useful book for me..thanks..

best read to understand and find about stock market. I think its Geeta for finance people as it covered vast area i.e. strats with basik finance, economatrics, stock market and time to time changes in the field of derivatives. In short if u dont have any understanding about finance dont worry start with 1st page of this book and stop at last page, u will be GURU of finance.

Still my favorite text on derivatives, I remember reading the first edition a couple of decades ago like it was yesterday. Hull is a very engaging speaker, and reads if anything even better. The volume starts at the beginning (pretty much at a highschool calculus and stats level) and slowly builds. At the end the mystery of options and derivatives evaporates.

This is a very clearly written book and very thorough. It almost made a math type (like me) with no finance background competent at the topic. Almost.

this is that perfect kind of book for when you've had a few too many pre-pre-going out coctails and you just want to kick back with a chill book for a while.

A classic as both an introduction to the field, and a reference guide (my copy is dog-eared and falling apart, ten years later).

waaaaaaaaaa...smuanya yg bikin mata n otak kriting..hihihi..tp recommended buat yg suka spekulasi loh

Almost worth the $200 bucks it cost to buy this books.

A little drier, but it is certainly useful.

About to start reading...
