Summary: Retire Rich, Retire Young
Review: This book, as well as all the books in the Rich Dad series, is an investment in knowledge that gives the reader a new paradigm on taking the appropriate actions in his life to accumulate wealth. It provides the reader with an important foundation of knowledge that he can use as a springboard to further educate himself in personal financial matters. The key being that one must continue to not only expand his knowledge, but also to learn how to apply that knowledge in the real world to accomplish his goals.

Summary: A terrible investment
Review: This book is long on cliches and hype, and frustratingly short on specifics. Even though the print is large and the ideas simplistic, its rambling style, arrogant boasting, and redundancy make it a surprisingly difficult read, and in the end, the reader will be no closer to understanding on how to actually make enough money to do as the title says.Kiyosaki's legal and tax advice is in general extremely vague, and this is probably a good thing, as the advice his does get specific on is impractical, outdated, or illegal. Worse, this book appears to be more a work of fiction than anything else. Kiyosaki's anecdotes about his own career are at times contradictory, and the dates don't match. And the Honolulu Star-Bulletin was unable to identify who "Rich Dad" could possibly be, despite Kiyosaki's claims of how rich and famous he is in Hawaii. It is quite probable that he is also a work of fiction (check out Kiyosaki's disclaimer at the front of the book). Kiyosaki is much more a (poor) motivational guru than a serious financial advisor, as anyone who has seen him hustling his products on his infomercials can attest to. In case you've missed his informercials, never fear. At the back of this book are pages of ads for his products, including his $200 (!) board game. One has to wonder how seriously to take a financial advice book that seems to be more of a marketing tool, designed to make Kiyosaki, rather than the reader, rich.

Summary: Liar?
Review: This was my first (and last) reading of this series. Kiyosaki is a great motivational writer when you can get beyond his miserable grammar. There was way too much hype and not enough substance! He really doesn't give any of his 'secrets' away. He does, however, tell a story about how he made fantastic returns 'without any money'. It's BS because, as he admits, tho not in an apparent context, that he had to have enough collateral (about $40k) to cover himslf, had his hedge failed. Hmmmm.... Further, I think it's contrived. He starts the book in '84 or so saying he 'can't' do what he says is most important: change his thinking to retire rich beyond his wildest dreams. He goes through a long-winded story about how his friend had to convince him. Contradicting this, throughout the book, he's saying in retrospect, how he was realizing how important what 'Rich Dad' had taught him was, etc. as he's being exposed to it. So which is it? Did he learn this stuff from '84 or so on, or was he really following it throughout his life and needed another book to help him retire rich?

Summary: So So
Review: This book is a bit too abstract. I would have liked it if he had described a bit more the sweat and heat of running a business. And he says he retired at age 48. To me, retiring young is more along the lines of what Eddie Murphy said, "I always knew I'd be a millionaire by age 21." That's young! And if Kiyosaki didn't retire until age 48 (and he retired on a fairly unimpressive five-figure passive income) EVEN THOUGH HE HAD BEEN COACHED BY HIS RICH DAD SINCE AGE 9, a reader older than 9 can tend to feel it's too late to start the multi-years process of getting rich, which for Kiyosaki involved being homeless in his late 30's. And I confess, I'm older than 9 myself!

Summary: Thinking Different
Review: This is the third book of Robert's I have read. I took my time reading this book, reflecting on the different points he has made. A blueprint or outline on how to become rich, this book is not. Started me to thinking differently on issues of money and achieving life goals, it has.
Rating:
Summary: Regurgitation
Review: After reading several of his books, Kiyosaki has run out of things to say. If this were his only book I would rate it 4 stars because he does share alot of valuable information. The reason I would not rate it 5 stars is because he repeats himself over and over and over and over again. He also misquotes the Bible several times. If you have read his first book then borrow this one if you have time to kill.

Summary: A must read for all Business Owners
Review: For me this book is the best yet of the Rich Dad series. It is a must read for all business owners or those who wish to start a business.

Summary: This book is not detailed enough - too general
Review: This book is too general - it is not as detailed as I thought to be. I am quite disappointed in this book. Robert keep referring to his other books, leaving you hanging there and thinking - is he trying to sell me his other books? It seems like he wants to write a book that could tie in with his other books (in order to sell you his other books). I really think I made a bad choice in buying this book!
Rating:
Summary: Has value to read
Review: Actually, I think this book is not good as same as before. Not enough information to know how to get rich or retire young. But it has value to spend your time to read, if you want to know why "It doesn't take money to make money". But, I think his first book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is far batter than this one. Anyway, ,go to get it and you will enjoy this book.

Summary: Write a book, get rich
Review: Too much "context" not enough "content". The main point that Kiyosaki left me with was, "Hey, if I want to get rich, maybe I should write a book about how to get rich?" I will say that the motivational aspects of this book may help those with a seemingly incurable self esteem.
