Title: Talking Down to Graduates
Review: Collee graduates for years have managed to find apartments, join gyms, and pay taxes. After reading this, I'm shocked!!This book starts with the assumptions that 1. such tasks are rocket science, and 2. there are one-sized fits all answers for all situations. The latter is more problematic. For example, the taxes chapter was the only one that seemed to be more than a list of common sense guidelines with a few (occassionally) funny jokes thrown in. But because the treatment was so short, the advice was superficial and not so useful. They publish guides for many cities, but as far as I can tell don't have staff there - but the Chicago one I have doesn't have any really useful city-specific information.In short, if you have even an ounce of self-sufficiency, ignore this book and research more in-depth resources on the subject you need to learn about.
