Henry Barry's Reviews > Distressed Debt Analysis: Strategies for Speculative Investors

Though this is supposedly the end-all-be-all of restructuring books, I think it is showing its age in 2023. While it is definitely comprehensive, I found it tough to read cover to cover from a writing style perspective. On the digital copy I had, some paragraphs took up entire pages, and the text was somewhat repetitive, so some sections felt like I was running in circles. The regulations have changed slightly so the book would benefit from a refresh reflecting that. Lastly, as someone who doesn't play chess, I thought the chess moves at the end of each chapter were a cheesy touch.

That said, the book was very comprehensive and detailed about the entire restructuring process. Though it may not be fit to be a perfect, up-to-date reference book, it definitely got me excited about restructuring.
