Piratica, look no more... this is the book to get. No question here. they talk to you like you are a moron (which is good) but then the transition shifts towards the middle end. Only issue is its a hardcopy, which makes it hard for bathroom reading. :-) so if you can find it in a softcopy go for it.
Be careful that options is betting if your stock is going higher or lower NOTHING in Between, either you in or out of $$, even though you can only get out before your time is when your target $$price is met; otherwise it will expire worthless and no stop limit either.
Good luck on your decisions, no time limit is better IMO, I used to trade options.
