Quote from Reaver:
Apparently Amazon is not displaying the actual reviews anymore..just the # of stars on average...
Unless my computer is messed up.
Same for me. There are no customer reviews. I am also logged into Amazon, so it is strange that they do not exist. Currently, the book is rated 4/5 stars. I don't know if this is manipulated.
There are editorial reviews, however:

Book Description
$2 trillion is invested in the hedge fund industry, and yet, due to industry regulations, the general public knows little about them. This book will change everything. Timothy turned $12,000 of Bar Mitzvah gift money into $1.65 million trading thousands of stocks from 1999-2002, managed the #1 Short Bias Hedge Fund from 2003-2006, starred in the television documentary Wall Street Warriors, and appeared regularly on CNBC all before the age of 26. It's been a wild ride. This `Rocky'-like story is the first realistic look at the world of stock trading and hedge funds-it will educate and inspire everyone.
