Reviewer's comment:
This was one of the books that started my passion for reading. It provides a perspective that we never got growing up. And has so much valuable real life learnings. It also written in a story fashion which makes it an easy read that kept me wanting to know what was next.
Pros
Perspective on money that you don’t learn in school or at home.
A lot of real world applications
Cons
It was written before all the “gurus” hit the internet. So you can get most of the same info without reading it.
If it was written in the social media age it would have been no more than a “clickbait” book
