This book is nothing more than an advertisement to encourage you to buy more products from this author. It is big on general ideas, but short on specifics. It explains what you should do, but not how to do it.

The title says it all. It was very illuminating about two different ways of looking at money. It had some good information and the steps given to getting rich are actually realistic if not easy (but then if it were easy ...).

This book was horrible. Talk about stating the obvious on many levels. I was really hoping to learn something eye opening or get a new perspective on things and it did nothing for me. There are also many times that he states that "you just need to know how to do blank instead of blank" or "tell blank from blank", but does not give any examples. As stated by the last review, this is also very redundant. The author repeats himself over and over again and on numerous occassions, comes across as arrogant. As if he is being facetious towards those hard working middle class and poor by reminding you over and over the amount of things done wrong without really giving a clear answer or suggestion on how to change it. Just that those with money are better because.....blah blah. I also did not like his attitude about the "educated father" or people for that matter. He really does act as if school is worthless and unnecessary.

I'd like to say that my dislike for this book was due to the fact that it was abridged. But since my main complaint was that it was excruciatingly redundant, I can only imagine the unabridged version... The writing is just awful. The author's (not the narrator's) voice is pompous and arrogant, and he sounds ridiculously stilted because he never uses contractions, even in dialogue. I also found it annoying that the author kept contrasting formal education against money education, with the assumption that because school doesn't teach kids about money it's essentially useless. Sure, schools should teach about money - but the purpose of formal education is hopefully a bit broader than that. All this said, if you can get through the language, there are some useful gems of wisdom in this book. I only wish it had been abridged even more...

Wonderfully written! Very informative! As an elementary school teacher and administrator, I can say for a fact that we are doing our students a disservice when we don't teach our kids about money. We are becoming more and more a nation of debtors and the "house made of cards" is soon coming down. Our kids are, in my opinion, not only educationally illiterate, but financially illiterate as well...a lethal combination. I can only speak for California, but I bet I would be hard press to find any State's curriculum framework to include the subject matter of finances. My district would frown upon any teacher attempting to step outside the approved curriculum. But, after reading Kiyosaki's book, that's going to change in my classroom.
