I feel like this section is going to the hardest to write about because I’m Canadian and we’re trained from birth to be polite but I’m going to try and be as honest as I can be.

So for my first review I thought I’d pick a topic that I had both positive and negative things to say in order to balance everything out.

Firstly, I liked this book because it was about finances and that’s always interesting. I found it really inspired me to get into the investment real estate world and got me thinking more about that. I also like reading about success stories so I’m proud of what Robert Kiyosaki was able to accomplish.

Now, overall I didn’t really like this book. It was painful to read and I found that he often went on blabbing and I found myself glancing over certain sections because they couldn’t hold my attention. I also didn’t like how philosophical he was about financing and investing. He basically said to stop working normal jobs and start investing in order to get rich but that just isn’t feasible a lot of the time. Also, he didn’t really take into consideration that some people truly enjoy their government jobs, teaching jobs etc and I feel like he put those down. I also prefer finance books that give you clear cut instructions, not ones that gave vague notions on what to do and I found that’s all this book did.

Overall, I would not recommend this book, but if you’re looking for a broad  generalization of different types of wealth and investment real estate ideas then it could be of interest to you.
