Negative Positive
Title: Felt like I was in some sort of salesman seminar!
Review: This book just basically lists chapter after chapter everything that can go wrong ... when buying a house. Fine, that is the title after all, but I didn't find it very helpful. It seemed like a sales pitch to me somehow (how to get the best deal, etc). It isn't until the last chapter when they say the biggest mistake of all is "being too afraid to buy because of fear of making a mistake." Well, after reading that book how can one NOT be suddenly afraid of all that can go wrong???This book is definitely not good for newbies to the house-buying market. It just freaked us out way too much. A better book for newbies is BUY YOUR FIRST HOME by Robert Irwin. His was informative and reassuring somehow. It walks you through the facts without freaking you out about every possible thing that can go wrong, which I found much more helpful.
Is the review positive or negative?
