This memoir hopscotches between his trademark hyperbole and a peculiar form of self-abnegation (he never seems happier than when flagellating himself). Wall Street-savvy readers will particularly enjoy Cramer's blow-by-blow account of the late-'90s market. The IPO for Cramer's financial e-rag, TheStreet.com...
