I recently ordered this book and really enjoyed it. It covers an area I am extremely interested in learning: object-oriented design in a c++ framework. No more; no less. It serves it purpose well and I have been satisfied with my purchase.

I think a lot of people may not like this books because of the author's tone: it is like a know-it-all grandparent talking down to a child. The author's air of superiority can be tough to get through.
However, the underlying ideas, logic, author's experience presented the book was quite good. The author's approach is a very modern approach to the markets and risk.

I am a student of Dr. Campolieti so take my review as it is. But I really like this book as it breaks down the theory and application well.
Basically, the first half is the theory while the second half is implementations using Excel VBA. Often, books go into much theory with lots of equations but very little guidance as to their implementation.
I greatly enjoyed the balance in this book.
Also note that this is not for a beginner of Financial Mathematics.
