Summary: Interesting for High School Students To Know about Money
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Being a high school student I need to know as much about money as I can, since I will be living on my own in the near future. THis book had many helpful concepts including things that my parents (established medical doctors) didn't even know. The concept about liablities versus assests are very interesting. This book calls the United states to reasses the style and content of education regarding money and finances. THere is no class about this type of subject and we all need to know about it since that is what our life will be like when we leave the comfort of our parents.

Summary: rich facts poor writing
Review: Being a student and for a class assignment had to read a book dealing with economics. My teacher recommended this book and I found it rather interesting. This has truly helped me prepare me on what to expect of the real world. Even though, Kiyosaki is not the greatest writer repeating facts through out his book it helps you understand what he is trying to say. It would have been wonderful to use facts from today's wealthy men and women instead of the rich and dead.
I do recommend this book to anyone stuck in the rat race and to prepare themselves for every unexpected turn they will find.

Summary: A Candy Shell With a Hole in the Inside
Review: I must admit that I enjoyed reading this book. The prose is simple but fairly fluid and the financial advice comes off as genuinely enlightening. As I put the book down I really did feel more capable of becoming rich. The problem is that I feel the book has some shady morality around the edges which are easy to glaze over. Are we supposed to simply overlook the fact that "Rich Dad" does everything in his power to keep down the wages of the people working for him? We are able to sympathize with him because he helps our narrator achieve wild riches, but still, that does not make up for the fact that he has so little compassion for the people upon whom his wealth depends. "Rich dad" throws in a little bit here and there about charity, but there is obviously something lacking in his concern for his fellow human beings. The book repeatedly spouts typical conservative doctrine, saying essentially that the poor end up that way because they do not "produce." The irony is that the whole point of the book is to assert that the only way to get rich is by owning things (assets which provide income). If I own a townhouse and sit in my pajamas all day, playing Nintendo gamecube while collecting rent checks and asking my maid for more Nutter Butters, what exactly am I "producing" again? Or is the point that we should all strive to escape the "rat race" so that we no longer need to "produce" in order to survice? Isn't that a great goal, to reach a point where we are no longer expected to contribute to society? Whatever happens to the rest of the 'rats' is up to them, right? In the end, if you want to get rich I would recommend this book. I think it would really help. If you are looking for a coherent, balanced approach to attaining wealth without sacrificing your integrity, this book is going to come up short. I would be lying if I said I got nothing out of this book. It was a breezy, interesting read; I just don't feel like reading the rest of the series. But then again, if the economy keeps going on like this.... Kidding! I'd rather be homeless and starving than treat another human being like merely a machine for making me richer. But that's just me, another sucker who will probably never get out of the 'rat race.'

Summary: Truely a must read!
Review: This book is, as the title says, truely a must read. If you have any intrest on being financially wealthly after school, then this is the book for you. It gives you some common sense views that aren't so common and shows you how to make money work for you, not have you work for money. One more reason I love this book is because the writer himself was, at one time, broke. He had no money but still held to the ideals taught to him by his "Rich Dad" and he was able to pull out and create a multi-million dollar business.

Summary: Powerful Stuff
Review: Although I don't have a Masters Degree, I do have a MLD Degree (stands for Makes Lots of Dough).Flipping properties does work as does buying foreclosures as RD advises. Also I have made over 200% investing in small cap stocks and another 45% in a small cap mutual fund.NOTE: Kiyosaki advises small cap, not penny stocks as has been incorrectly listed here.Theis book contains powerful advice only if you are perceptive enough to understand it.

Summary: Sound financial advice
Review: Through story form Robert explains his perspective on how to properly invest money into purchasing items (aka assets) that will turn around and make money for you. He gives a wonderful story of how he made money opening up a comic book viewing "store" and he sites many examples of how he purchased assets and turned them into a great money making opportunity. This book has done well on the best-seller lists and for good reason. He advocates learning many financial skills but neglected to teach them himself. But for those who are interested in getting out of the rat-race and becoming self reliant, this is a good book to start with. My largest complaint: he does take a while to get to the point. A lot of this book is useless sluff. But there is a lot of good financial advice to be found in the book. Check out many other books written by the same author that will expand on the topics touched upon in this book.

Summary: The Perfect Gift for College Grads
Review: This book is full of idea stimulating facts and ideas. I give it as a college graduation gift to all the kids I know who are ready for success in real life... (And to non-college grads who are out there working hard!) I wish this book had been around when when I was starting out - it would have saved a lot of time learning things the hard way. If you read it every year or so you will get something different out of it. Think of it as an idea stimulator, not a hand book, and you will love it. The lessons of the two dads are very poignant, and every "kid" I know sees his or her family in some form here. My hope in passing on this book is that the kids can see a pattern and avoid the poor dad mistakes as they begin their own lives. PS - Not everyone is comfortable in all investing arenas. The real estate section was particulary amazing to me because the techniques are the same ones that have worked very well for me over the years. Some other reviewers disagree with that - to each his own. Again, think of this book as an idea stimulator, not a "how to", and you'll get the point.

Summary: Fictional stuff
Review: The info on property flipping is pure junk. I enjoyed "The Richest Man in Babylon" much more as it is a much better book with a similar message. I too have a Master's Degree in Management, and while the message to build assets and avoid overspending is good, I had to put the book down when I got to the "fast wealth" examples about the real estate and small "soon to be public" stocks. Give me a break.

Summary: I gain so much from it!
Review: This book is quite easy to read and I gain so much from it!
First, it gave me another view on financial knowledge especially the definitions of asset and liability.
Second, it changes my mind "work to learn but money".
Beside, this book taught me what is rat race, which I¡¦m encounter every day and this is the reason why I¡¦m struggling on my bills every month and I¡¦m not getting rich even I work very hard. I will always remember what author said, ¡§Money is one form of power, but what is more powerful is financial education¡¨
Finally, this book advice me how to overcome the obstacles. Although it sounds common sense, but it is not an easy task.
Overall, this book is very worthwhile and interesting. And who don¡¦t know why they struggle on their bills should have a look.
