ablx0 's review for:
Rich Dad Poor Dad: Was die Reichen ihren Kindern über Geld beibringen
by Robert T. Kiyosaki
Is this book good? Definitely not.
First, the book is poorly written. Every chapter is bloated and unnecessarily repetitive. Reading the chapters feels like being in a weird sales pitch. Luckily, there is a summary at the end of each chapter. In my mind, you won't miss much if you just read the summary. Secondly, the book is not well done artisanally. The author throws in a lot of numbers (e.g. unemployment rate) without any source. You have to believe that these numbers are true. Thirdly, the authors says you should learn x or y, without referring to any literature to do so. Last but not least, you do not get any concrete advice. Everything is kind of shallow, you get the idea what the author means, but thats it.
But is it bad? I don't know. I do not agree with the authors view in some points, but I must admit that they are partly true. However, if you expect an advisory book on finance, this is not your book. If you want to look in the head of a neoliberal author, go get it.
My financial advice: do the communist thing: lend the book from your library, read the summaries of each chapter and decide if its worth to read a chapter in detail.
(I'd give the book 2.5 stars, but since it's not possible I round up to 3)
