I was about to grab this book after reading a review on WSJ.

Well, it depends on your expectations. I found it OK. Probably because I did not expect too much. When I bought it I understood that it is not about "financial engineering", but it is a kind of philosophy or just thoughts

To me, he spent 1/3 paraphrasing Spinoza and Goethe, 1/3 of the book talking about physics (pretty boring since I did a physics undergrad and didn't learn much) and finally 1/3 talking about finance which was the only moderately interesting bit - and just when it seemed he started getting into it, it was over.
