Very shallow
First part explains option trading platforms and order routing, and is very confusing. The interviews with option traders in the second part mostly concentrate on differences between electronic trading and trading on the floor. The rest of the book is a very basic description of what options are and what technical analysis is. That's it. Nothing in the book can be used for option trading.

Just an overview
This book tries to be too many things at once and so it fails to give you enough detail on anything specific. Part one covers options markets, order types, options strategies and even a bit of the history of the evolution of the options trading field. Part two is interviews. Part three is basic technical analysis concepts. Part four deals with the psycological aspects of trading. All of this rather briefly. On any of the above you need much greater detail if you are serious about options trading. Use this book as an introduction only.

Informative Options Book
This is a very informative book about trading options electronically. The emphasis is on thoroughly discussing different trading platforms and techniques to be used to trade on them profitably. Howard is very strong on explaining different trading methods. I like all his books.
