Summary: Great Laughs!
Review: At least one good laugh on every page! I've read through the book from cover to cover and loved every minute. I enjoyed the bits of wisdom interspersed with some hearty laughs - a wonderful combination. Now I leave the book available and just open to any page when I want to lift my spirits. I've enjoyed sharing many of the jokes with my family and friends, and will continue to do so. Highly recommended for everyone (although there is some mildly off-color, and funny! material).

Summary: SIDESPLITTING? MORE LIKE LIGHTLY HUMOROUS!
Review: First of all, I like James Dines as an investment newsletter writer. I've also heard him speak in person and thought that he was exceptionally good. What I am about to say about this particular book is only based on my opinion of this piece of work._________ Here's a book that fans of James Dines, the original gold-bug may find a treasure to own. I think that his investment newsletter is interesting to read because of his unique writing style and in-depth analysis. I especially find his political/terrorism takes to be very interesting. But this book is not something that I've enjoyed that much. It's basically a collection of self-coined quotations that are organized like a quotation book (which are not very interesting to read as a rule). There aren't any stories or cartoons or commentary/sidebars from Mr. Dines which would have made it far more interesting. This looks like a cheap production where someone went through all his newsletters and snipped out little pieces. Now I realize that the book was intended for speech writers, but I think it could have used a lot more imagination in creating the final product. Mr. Dines could have done a whole lot better if he would have invested more time, money and creativity into this book project. It's a shame to have so much great content wasted on a low-budget production. The Dines Letter is a far more superior product than this.
