Title: Watered down and badly written
Product review: As with many self-help books, much of the text in this one is an endless chant of the same four or five nuggets of general advice and observations, intended to get the reader excited about the idea of making a change in his/her life. No insightful truths emerge. Some basic financial guidance does, but stuff that is covered better elsewhere. And after 200 annoying pages of this, it shifts into a not-so-subtle sales pitch for some other product the author has dreamed up. Light on content, and more than a little manipulative.Like a previous reviewer has suggested, I'd advocate instead reading a lot of the (free) content available at the Motley Fool investment site (they also sell books, but start with the free stuff ... there is a lot there). Check out 'The Millionaire Next Door' ... also over-marketed, but it does contain a higher quotient of usable, practical help.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
