Summary: Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Review: Overall, I thought that Rich Dad, Poor Dad was not so rich in content, and rather poor in writing. The author of this book did not do a good job of putting all of his thoughts together in this badly written book. One thought seemed to jump from the next without any connection. Furthermore, the ideas and lessons presented in this book seemed rather obvious to me, and it was hard to understand why someone would need to read such a book at all, for everything in it seemed to be nothing more than common sense. I do not reccomend this book to anyone who truley wants to learn how to manage their finances.

Summary: Rich Dad Poor Dad Review
Review: I found this book ver interesting. It gave me a new prespective on making money. He contrasts the differences in economic strategies between "Rich Dads" and "Poor Dads" and they generally depict the pros and cons of economic decisions typically made by entrepreneurs in contemporary society. I found the charts informative and easy to follow and I highly recommend this book to all interested in business and those who want to be successful.

Summary: Concept, Concept, Concept
Review: Think about it. The underlying lesson in this book is that we are doing what the rich, financial institutions and corporations want us to do. We are in their service to help them grow rich. We have at or disposal the some of the same tools. We just have to spend more time planning and educating ourselves. STOP sitting in front of the television watching sports and soaps. Start putting that effort into increasing your financial knowledge. Then begin to put that knowledge to work. Kiyosaki opens you eyes, it is up to you to do the rest. Be a slave or be free.

Summary: THIS BOOK COULD BE HARMFUL TO YOUR WEALTH
Review: I don't know where to start, maybe to say that I'm amazed a book this bad, this negative, expousing such an unsustainable level of crass materialism could sell in the numbers it has. Education is a good thing, the value of everything should not be material. You can grow wealthy on just about any level of income simply by saving; don't take my word for it, read, "The Millionaire Next Door." Working for a living in support of yourself and a family is an honorable undertaking that blow hards should not be allowed to belittle without confrontation. My Dad worked hard at menial tasks all his life, I do not believe that someone is smarter or better just because they achieved a higher level of consumerism. I resent the author's posture and premise in this regard. I would love to see this guy and the late Joe Dominguez have a heart to heart. I found the book repulsive, actually.

Summary: Sits on the border of helpful or story sharing.
Review: If your looking for a story to give you the "get rich" perspective, this is your book. It sets the mental can-do platform and a little something extra to get you on your way. If your looking for sturdy financial wrungs for your ladder, this book suggests ways but falls short of details. For those details, you must buy . . . next book, see the lecture, and so forth.
Look at the number of pages: 184. You won't find the road map
to success, here. You might find a nudge. For a good laugh and
an interesting sci-fi adventure try "Damsel in the Rough" by Tempesta. There are nudges there too.

Summary: Save your money
Review: I can't understand the popularity of this book, and the string of exploitative titles that came after it. The so-called financial advice is simplistic and obvious, presented in poor to average writing and laughably unconvincing anecdotes. I'm sorry I bought it.

Summary: Getting serious -- A must to read
Review: I am just getting started on learning about finances and this book came HIGHLY recommended by people that are successful. I have learned alot and Needed a more motivational book to get started, and keep me going through all those Dry books that I know will help me :)
I am a daughter of parents that were every two week paycheck people. Now I am in Real Estate and realized that this is a whole different ball game. I have and am identifing with mentalities that go along with feeling like your entitled to a paycheck because you worked. NOT.. He very accurately describes the Rat Race that most people put themselves in instead of enjoying life. I plan to enjoy life because "it is a good life"

Summary: I couldn't even finish it...
Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend (She had not read it - she saw it on a TV program). It sounded very interesting and worth my time and money. I am sorry to say that I cannot recommend it to you. I have read many personal finance books and other books. Rich Dad, Poor Dad is the worst example of a book I have ever encountered. Kiyosaki's arguments were strung together poorly. He was difficult to follow since he often repeated himself and delved into irrelevant tangents. Most infuriating to me was the fact that he obviously didn't have anyone proof-read this book before it went to print... I counted glaring typos on almost every other page! I finally gave up on trying to get through it and have since heard that this book bears a striking similarity to The Millionaire Next Door (it is even rumored that there may never have been a "Rich Dad" at all for Kiyosaki). I haven't read that yet, but plan to soon. I expect it will be a better read. The only positive thing I can say is congratulations to the author for getting rich off of selling this [stuff] to all of us!

Summary: I never let my schooling interfere with my education
Review: RDPD, provides a good dose of financial reality to tyro investors. Kiyosaki's successful personal experiences help the reader understand the relevance of removing oneself from the "rat race" of working for money to spend, but to have money work for oneself. RDPD serves as a feel good book that makes any reader come to the conclusion that school is not life, and will not help financially. It is a good book for any high school student interested in beginning to develop a trained investor mind, however, do read it like a novel; if any part is boring skip over it and don't simply read over the life lessons and not actually think about them. Kiyosaki accurately depicts the hidden factors of the successful financial sphere.

Summary: Simplistic, But Excellent Advice
Review: When I started this book, it seemed very simplistic, although written in an engaging style. I thought what he had to say was interesting, but didn't feel it was going to tell me anything I didn't know. But the more I read, the better I thought the book was. By the time I finished it, it really did help me and motivate me to change my circumstances. He doesn't tell you what to DO in this book, although he does give plenty of examples of what he did for you to think about. What this book is trying to do is to change your METHOD OF THINKING. And it really succeeds, as far as I'm concerned. He reminds me a lot of some very successful people I know in real estate, the way he thinks and talks.
