[Richard Scott <didly@ihug.co.nz>]

I have read this book and found it somewhat tiresome. Much the usual
material is covered in simialr financial self-help books along the lines of
the comments below. (Middle paragraph) So, unless you're an absolute
beginner I don't think it's worth the money. If you can borrow it and
selectively read bits of it then all the better.
