It is a great book for a beginner. There will be some concepts that you will need to look up but that’s alright. You will learn a lot. Most of it is about the way of thinking not about technical details.

Moreover, if you buy one of those versions with Jason Zweig as a co-author, it will help a lot. I found his writing style more coherent and easy-to-follow than Ben Graham’s writing style.

If you want to keep it short and sweet, read just chapters 8 and 20. Those are the most important ones.

I read it as a high school senior and I came to the U.S when I was a junior, English is my second language and I still learned a lot and had fun reading it.

Good Luck!
