Better Interview Prep Reading: McKinsey Valuation or Rosenbaum & Pearl's Investment Banking

Which would be more useful to read as I prep for full time interviews this fall? Maybe something else?

McKinsey Valuation or Rosenbaum & Pearl's Investment Banking

Why not read both? You can likely get them at your school's library and whatever you don't understand in one book, you can read in the other.

 

They're not short books, and I think networking would be of much more benefit then reading the Valuation book.
