Summary: This book is a joke right?
Review: Poor writing with no practical advise at all. A few common sense ideas that you already know. Don't waste your money, this book is a liability not an asset!

Summary: Nice Start - good base
Review: The first 75 pages are tough to get through, but I would suggest the book for the people looking to build a base for financial sense. Did not enjoy the last 15 pages of Cash Flow infocommercials. Just like anything, if you can learn a few good ideas - its worth reading.

Summary: Eye opening experience
Review: I watched him on the Oprah Winfrey show and was amazed by his story of sucess and how it helped others. After reading his book I realized that this one book was my key to financial freedom that I had been longing for. I read this book in one day which I never finish a book in one day. It is a book you just cant put down with fun stories that help you learn more about cashflow and how to increase it. The illustrations are an eyeopener for people who learn better words as well as from pictures. You will love this book and want more information at your feet. It made me want to learn more about stocks, bonds, Ira's, real estate and many other forms of investing for my future. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift of wisdom.

Summary: not much value
Review: I fail to understand all the praise for this book. All of his books make just one basic point "you should let your money work for you by investing wisely, don't just rely on your salary". Do you need to read 200 page books to understand this point? There is no practical actionable advice for the novice investor, just oft repeated principles reiterated many times using his rich dad.Another thing that is irritating is the fact that he keeps repeating one and the same thing like going to school is not very useful etc. You wil learn a lot more about investing from other more focused books and websites like motley fool, morning star etc. Don't waste your money on this book.

Summary: Good Key Concepts -- Writing Style Difficult to Wade Through
Review: The author gives an example of a conversation he had with a stellar writer where he states that he is a "best selling author" and not a "best writing author"... This is definitely the case. The core concepts are very sound. He doesn't fall into the trap of selling his approach which is excellent -- but encourages the fundamentals which I like. Overall, I found this audio book very interesting, but I was bogged down by the ramblings that didn't always support the point. I felt that I was listening to someone do a talk from an outline versus a well thought out and structured discussion. (Kinda like this evaluation.) The fundamentals are sound. Let your assets take care of your needs. All things are not assets... Read the book to get the whole scoop, but those were the key learnings for me.

Summary: One chapter is worth the price of the book
Review: If you find finance and business books boring, you will love reading this book. Reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad is like reading a thriller. I couldn't wait to find out what happens next, what new knowledge will spring up. I was willing to stay up until 4 AM reading, not easy with a 15 month old. In fact, I finished Rich Dad, Poor Dad within a day. The chapter on Assets and Liabilities is worth the price of the book. Knowing what I know now, I know I will recover the cost of the book. Frankly, I feel I will recover or earn quite a bit more. Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a worthwhile purchase. It provides a lot of information. I may not choose to be a big game player just yet, and the information allows me to start small if I choose. Right now, I'm thinking: I can definitely minimize my liabilities and enhance some assets. I will, however, have to work on paying me first. I know I should do it, but it's hard to practice. I'm working on it though. Jenny

Summary: LIFE CHANGING!
Review: Rich Dad Poor Dad was the BEST book I have ever read. It is a "must read" for College Students and people who want to START OVER. Once I picked it up, I just couldn't put it down! The wisdom that he shares with readers is incredible. After reading this book, I also bought Cashflow Quadrant and Rich Dads Guide to Investing. If you want to read a book that will give a new view on life and the difference between the Wealthy and the Poor... READ THIS BOOK! It's not luck, It is a lifestyle that makes the difference. Get in the game. Bye for now, Ray webguy@ipa.net www.goforstuff.com

Summary: Think and grow Rich?
Review: I took the book out of the library (as a previous reviewer suggested). There are many how-to-get-rich books in print. All of them seem to take one or maybe two ideas that could be part of an over all strategy and base the whole book on them. This book isn't really any different. It isn't a comprehensive investment guide. It's a couple of good ideas immersed in a great deal of motivation. Motivation is great, but hard facts are what's needed to keep you going after the motivation wears off. This book is scant on them. If you need something to get you going, then great, this is the book for you. If you need something to keep you going (like actual financial advice) after the euphoria of trying to strike it rich wears off, then look for some solid financial planning books.

Summary: This will go down as a classic...
Review: As a business owner, I have read many books on how to develop a successful business. But after reading RDPD and the Cash Flow Quandrant, my thinking was totally changed. Robert has a way of converting very complex ideas into simple terms. His book is awesome and is a must read for anyone interested in becoming rich. Jon Schenk jschenk59@yahoo.com

Summary: i can't even believe this book
Review: how disturbing. this book reflects contemporary american society's obsession and reverence for the rich, money, and materialism. the advice this book offers will only fuel the corrupt system that is operating today (a system which is udoubtedly in a downward spiral). do yourself a favor and be one of the few people who is not obsessed with "making it to the top."
