Summary: Low Risk, High Reward
Review: I first learned about Bob Reiss through a very famous Harvard Business School case study about one of his companies. The book expands upon the key lessons of the case, and addresses many of the issues that could not be addressed in the short case study format. This book is a "must read" for first-time entrepreneurs.

Summary: I'd pass --- not that good
Review: I really don't underatnd the 5 star ratings and raving reviews. I didn't see anything good inthis book. In fact it is the first book that I bought and threw away.The low rating here at Amazon (not even in the top 300,000) should be a clue.
Rating: 
Summary: I liked it!
Review: I see some reviews here with much disparity, some liked it other didn't. Everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess and I guess it alld epends on your level of experience and knowledge. I enjoyed Low Risk High Reward and feel better suited to start a business as result. I am not now in a business but hoping to start one soon.

Summary: Not bad
Review: I wouldn't waste my money on this and I didn't.
Rating:
Summary: 3 stars
Review: I'm giving this 3 stars because it does provide some good information albeit basic. Didn't find a whole lot of WOWSA information, but it did remind me of things that I forgot and for that it deserves 3 stars.

Summary: chapter 2 alone worth price of book
Review: In the second chapter of his book, Reiss writes about the key numbers that all CEOs running companies should know. He refers to this stuff as 'numeracy,' and he writes clearly on how you need to understand these numbers to get a clear sense of your company's health. He also advocates that CEOs take regularly scheduled snapshots of these companies by updating cash-flow statements, performing cost analysis on products, and doing break-even analyses for the company and all products. A firm understanding of these numbers limits the number of surprises that can wreak havoc on the company. "Tinkering at the margins is what most businesses are really about," Reiss writes. It's not a matter of coming up with anything remarkably new, but borrowing other's time-tested ideas, improving on them a bit and then executing. Clear stuff from someone with experience.

Summary: Pass on this one

Rating:
Summary: Applicable to any business
Review: Regardless what business you are in or contemplating on starting Low Risk High Reward is a good book to help you avoid the pitfalls that overcome so many businesses. Good book by Reis
Rating:
Summary: Not bad...but you'll need more
Review: Reis's book is a good extension of basic business that we all learned in school. As a small business owner, I found myself saying "I agree, but I already knew that. Tell me more." At best this book would make a great refresher course if you have been out of school for a long time and haven't been reading very much. I would recommend Turbo Strategy by Brian Tracy for some real powerful advice that really works and will tell you some things that you don't already know. No offense Mr. Reis. Good book...but way too basic for an experienced entrepreneur.
