Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another part of the Rich Dad Poor Dad
Review: Robert Kiyosaki always has a great style of writing. If you haven't read any of Robert Kiyosaki's books, this is probably the best one to get. While he says you need to have a "financial education", the money you spend on this book couldn't be spent better. I highly recommend Rich Dad's Prophecy for anyone who plans on retiring in the next 20 years.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A poorly written book based on a bad assumption...
Review: The premise of this book is tantilizing: 1) The stock market will crash, and 2) here are some investment ideas to survive and prosper when the crash comes.

The author presumes that when retiring baby boomers begin to withdraw their 401(k) and mutual fund assets there will be more "sellers" of shares than "buyers" - thus the market will fall. This is a two-dimensional vision of the marketplace, yet plausible.

Regarding investment ideas for the reader: other than recommending the purchase of "income producing" real estate the second half of this book is hollow, and used by the author as little more than a platform for promoting his cash-flow board game and additional books he has written.

I don't feel that the day I spent reading this book was wasted, however, I'm not going to recommend it to any of my "thoughtful" friends.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No substance
Review: This book takes one, not very unique, observation that most books would cover in one chapter and stretches it out over an entire book. Despite the title, the book offers no insight regarding how to deal with the expected "prophecy". EXTREMELY repetitious and wriiten to a fourth grade level, you could easily skim it at the book store and get the entire message. I have not read the other books in this series, but if they are as bad as this one, it would be a waste of time.
