Honestly, I only bought this book because of the hype around it. I have heared of Robert Kiyosaki and his book before, but didn't know what to expect. I was almost certain that this book will be about general investing and that it won't go into details and I have to say that I was absolutley right. Robert is selling this book as the recepie of the rich, but if I wanted to, I could summerize the whole book in 3 sentences. 1: Save your money. 2: Invest as much as you can. 3: Dare to take risks. Thats it. I just saved you 11.99$. You're welcome! But jokes aside, if I wan't to be 100% honest, I kind of liked this book. Its far from good and bearly provides any educational value, but it does help and encouridge people to build an etreprenurial mindset and world view which is crucial for our economy. As some of my final words, I would advise anyone that already had the book to at least read into it, but if you don't have it or you are someone who already took finance 101, then you won't miss much is you don't read it.
