Summary: One Boring Big Book
Review: This is best used as a paperweight or to keep the door ajar. It is so sad to see Suze on TV pitching this tome when the air time could be used for much better uses. Who wants to read question after question. I got through the first 10 questions and I was almost asleep. Suze says that there are 2502 questions and these numbers add up to nine. Nine is an important number in Suze's life so she says and this is so silly and foolish that all I could do was to laugh.

Summary: Suze Orman Road to Wealth
Review: A comprehensive guide to self-help in financial matters. Great stuff!
Rating:
Summary: save your money
Review: Suze gives all the advice of a first year financial representative. You could call any financial institution and get more detailed advice for free. Keep your twenty dollars in your pocket and start investing with that and not with the purchase of this book. Better yet check out www.fool.com the motley fool gives a much more detailed investment plan.

Summary: The Road to Wealth
Review: The Road to Wealth is an easy to use reference guide to all things financial. Suze gives real, straightforward advice and speaks my language. She's no one's pitch person. This belongs on the shelf next to Webster's, Roget's, Encyclopedia Britannica Gray's Anatomy, and my Rand McNally.

Summary: A must-have for the financially clueless
Review: I was skeptical initially after purchasing Suze's book (despite having heard she was a trustworthy, well-informed source of financial advice). As soon as I started reading "The Road to Wealth," I was converted. She links the financial and emotional in a unique way. This novel approach helped me see how my finances are reflected in every aspect of my life.

Summary: Homespun Investing Advice
Review: The condescending tone is indicative of the target audience for this book. If all you have ever done with money is go to work to earn it and then spend it without care to your future, then you do need this book because you won't understand a real book on money management or investing. Ms. Orman offers only a general overview of how to manage money. The information in this book is not enough, but is a good start for a novice. However, most people don't want to know the truth. Here's the secret found in 629 pages: all you need to do is eliminate all credit card debt, spend less than you earn, and invest the difference on a regular schedule in a few no load equity index and bond mutual funds. Pretty darn simple. If you need a book to motivate you then so be it. For anyone beyond novice level, skip this one.

Summary: The Road To Wealth
Review: Great Book!!!!! The Road To Wealth is like a winning lottery ticket. Suze's advice is a one-stop road to profit. I'm glad I put down my summertime novel and read this book. I thought I was on my "road to wealth" until I read what Suze Orman had to say and learned that I was probably on the road to disaster.

Summary: HELPFUL ADVICE, BUT...
Review: There is no question this book is extensive in content and contains an abundant amount of information. In the area of personal finance, the author gives some valuable tips and advice. If one is relatively inexperienced, the book is strong in providing basic information on personal finance. However, there are other aspects of the book where the flow of information seems to be based on personal opinion and, in some instances, it is highly questionable if the information provided is actually wise advice. If one knows very little about finance, then anything one learns can appear, at least on the surface, as sound advice. However, for those experienced in finance, the advice is somewhat mediocre and there will certainly be nothing new or startling found among the pages. In addition, Canadian Tax Laws are quite different from that of the USA, so the book may prove helpful to Americans but not necessarily to those outside the country. For this reason, the book lost stars in the rating. It was not obviously written for everyone. The reader's viewpoint of the book will likely be based on their level of expertise in finance and where they live in the big wide world.

Summary: Good update to Suze's other books.
Review: If you have already read other books by Suze, you will find a lot of repetition here. If you are new to Suze Orman, buy this book and skip the others.This book is updated with the latest tax laws. The question and answer format is interesting and was taken right off Ormans now defunct web site.While Suze is outstanding at certain areas of personal finance, she is only fair at others and leaves a lot of holes wide open.Real Wealth is far more interesting and informative than say Jane Bryant Quinn's Making the Most of Your Money though.To round out your financial education I recomend Millionaire Next Door and More Wealth without Risk.Nice book Suze. Just doesn't cover it all.
