This book has a lot of content. For a beginner investor, it's nice to have a copy of the book and go back to certain sections of it during different stages of their investment career.
I would not recommend binge reading this as you probably won't absorb everything mentioned in the book in one sitting.
The language it's written in is casual and easy to understand. The content is quite relevant - this book has aged well!
Would definitely recommend it to newbies and veteran investors alike.

A fun read with many useful observations of the stock market at the time I read it, but now it may be quite dated.
One up on Wall Street is quite an odd read, in that similar to many of the classic books on investing its slightly out of date. Yet at the same time the knowledge or way of thinking isn't unhelpful. For example many of the specifics of the first too chapter seem pointless as Lynch refers to many of the companies and changes pre 2000s which is well past now, but the perspectives and strategies are mostly pretty helpful.
For the modern reader probably the third part about portfolios is the most useful, explaining his strategy in balancing and selling and so forth.
Overall the boo is pretty accessible and written in plain speak, so a useful primer to read before more technical tomes. While perhaps not the most 'must-read' for 2021 still something worth diving into if interested in investing.

Good, but I would brush over all the business / stock buying selling examples. Just take in the fundamentals. Good book thou, learned a lot.
This book is so full of amazing nuggets and wisdom on nuggets of fundamental investing. I will have to revisit this again, to actually get the full value of this book.

Imagine if your local grip and grin wrote a book the way he carries on with anecdotes while he's shaking everyone's hand. That was this book. Gads, it took a lot of folksy rambling to get to his points. The material is dated so the aw shucks stories were even more pointless...HOWEVER, the advice given is all very sound. It is also thankfully summed up in bullet points at the end of every chapter. These are the gems. Either get a hold of these lists or just listen to a couple of YouTube interviews with Peter Lynch and you will get the gist of his thesis and pointers for investing. Three stars to balance how good the information is with the excruciating delivery.
