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

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