Summary: Good book - ignore 1 star bashers
Review: I bought the audio version of this book a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it; although I felt at the time that it was below 9 Steps and Courage To Be Rich.With the absense of any real great financial advice by other financial authors, I feel that Suze Ormans book The Road To Wealth is excellent. It is written in an encyclopedic way. An easy reference guide for anyone. I found the paperback so beneficial that I bought additional copies for my son and daughter-in-law to enjoy. The Road To Wealth is a great book, possibly the best financial book on the bookstands right now. I also recommend Suze's newest book, The Laws of Money. The Lessons of Life. Suze goes beyond just money management and helps people understand the mental side of handling money. While I don't agree with everything she says, Suze is the best female personal finance author out there right now. Certaintly much better than Jane Bryant Quinn.

Summary: Ten stars and her best book
Review: I own a few of her books and this is the best in many ways. Ever wish that some financial advisor would answer your question? The question that either never gets asked or the writer runs out of space before the book is done and your question is missed? Well, this almost 700 page gem not only answers in a Question and Answer mode literally thousands of questions but does so on subjects that cover managing debt, home ownership, insurance and paying for college. To retirement concerns and stock, mutual funds and annuities. And a topic many people put off discussing, wills and trusts. You also get her newsletter FREE when you buy the book. I really appreciate her chapter on Money and Intimacy which basically covers the things that cause problems in a marriage when it comes to money. One person spends to much and one person is afraid to spend much at all. And she covers the subject of bankruptcy which is something that seems to be happening so much these days. She also discusses issues that are very 2002, like same sex unions and live in partners and how to protect ones assets. This is a good book to have in ones library and I think it is one I will be giving to my local library because it is the best on the subject in my opinion. Sort of an encyclopedia of financial Q and A.

Summary: Financial answers for the rest of us.
Review: The book provides us with a wealth of practical financial answers in a very sound, straightforward, honest, and easy-to-understand language. The core emphasis of the book is to help you create a strong, debt-free foundation to amassing assets and protecting them in periods of economic downturn; from buying a home to providing for loved ones; from investing with confidence and navigating the markets in good times and bad to securing reliable income for our later years. If you are interested or have any of these financial needs you need this valuable book. This is a book designed to help you take action-wherever you are in your life and whatever your needs. If you think all the advice you need is from your local bank then you have obviously missed the boat. FinanacialNeeds.com

Summary: The Road to Wealth
Review: The Road to Wealth by Suze Orman was extremely informational. Being 18 and very new to the world of finance I learned a lot from reading it. The way the book is set up in a question and answer format makes it easy to read on specific subjects. It would be a good idea to keep a copy in your house. That way you could read the different chapters as they apply to your life. I liked the section about paying for college best because I have to pay my own way through college, so it gave me some helpful tips. The Road to Wealth covers a wide variety of finance subjects all of which could be helpful at many different points in one's life. It covers everything from how to prepare yourself financially for when you retire to making out a will. I would recommend this book especially for people who haven't experienced much financially. It is a great way to learn about many different aspects of the financial world.
