Title: Not worth it Review: I read this book since I had seen the reviews and the premise sounded intriguing. I was not impressed. I thought the setup would allow for some great political, or class, or international relations issues to be dealt with; perhaps this bias wasn't fair to the author. This is possible. I also may enjoy opera, but have nowhere near the love for it as a single one of these characters did. That ended up being a major gripe; I could not believe that everyone loved opera and opera singers that much (oh, and the incorrect naming of a chess piece was also grating). Simply not possible. Finally none of the characters pulled me in. In fact, I disliked almost all of them. The ending was one realistic and revealing part of the book. It was not enough. Reading this ended up being painful; although I am fully aware that it could be because of my personal tastes. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Save money by not buying this book Review: This book was a waste of my time and money. This guy is so full of himself he thinks he can peddle advice when he barely gets his definitions of basic finacial planning terms correct. Read the Richest man in Babylon and you will get all the advice you need. Is the review positive or negative?
