The Ultimate Rip-Off: A Taxing Tale

Rating:
Summary: Not good
Review: It helped get the basics of tax across, but good literature it is not.

Rating:
Summary: Hard to stomach
Review: This is required reading for my tax class, and that's the only way I'd finish it. This book combines tax/IRS info with a terrible story about a tax agent. There is no depth to any of the characters. After one of his informants is killed right in front of him, the main character mostly just shrugs and moves on with his life. The plot isn't even interesting. If you want to get some of the basics about tax at the sacrifice of a plot, buy this book. I guess it IS better than a dry textbook with small type and two inches of material, but not much better.
