I found this book very useful. The author achieves the complex balance of being simple enough for new investors to understand while containing enough information to challenge more experienced individuals.

Excellent book, this is the second by Glen that I've read. Very clear explanations even for a new investor but not too basic that a more experienced investor would get bored. Well-balanced! I've found the entire book incredibly useful and will definitely be dipping back into it as I go through my investing journey.

Good introduction book for people want get a general knowledge in share market. Readable and comprehensive, but I think author might be tried to covered too much fields. and be aware that as the author is based on UK so naturally some details is more UK related.
