Summary: A Great Book For Everyone!
Review: If you have this book on your shelf, you have no excuses. You may not read it cover to cover -- but any question you may have about managing your finances is answered somewhere in the 970 pages! Jordan gets you started and then provides you comprehensive bibliographies and webographies to explore your topic in depth. Every household needs an up-to-date reference guide and this is the best one out there right now. Unfortunately, it missed the latest changes to the tax code, but I'm sure the soon to be released Everyone's Money Book: Retirement Planning will catch them.

Summary: A Great Book For Everyone!
Review: The book is thick. It consists if rich information in different topics in personal finance and investment. Jordon has done an excellent job in illustrating some complicated concepts (e.g. stock and bond exchanges) in concise and clear wording. The writer also produces some useful log sheets or records helping readers to work out their financial status. However, a drawback is that these sheets are put in-between main texts, interrupting readers from finishing reading pieces of writing. I am sure readers would find it more convenient if these stuffs were put at the end of each chapter.

Summary: many potential premises but few conclusions
Review: Walk down a row of books on money in any bookstore and you will find that most of them say the same thing that this book says: nothing. It is an amazing industry where they can continue to sell books that do nothing but define what a financial product is without making applicable judgments. It reminds me of the financial service industry's repeated mantra "depends on your personal situation" so as to reserve the right to sell you anything later down the road. This is a long book of nothing but cursory descriptions of financial tools and terms. It is a long book only because it uses too much wordage to say what it does. A lot of the information was just plain wrong as well. On page 54, he displays a classic investment pyramid with high risk/return products on the top and low risk/return product on the bottom. "Collectables" are second from the top, corporate bonds are higher than blue chip stocks, and T-bonds are higher than utility stocks. Is this guy for real?
