If you've read any investment books, this one fits in with all of them and doesn't really offer anything new.Not a bad book if you are new to the idea of investing and building wealth long-term.It also has sections on other life issues, such as renting vs. owning.Be warned that the author hails from Australia, so a lot of the content is useful but different from how things are in the US. I give it four stars because it's a decent book and the author writes in a very comfortable style, even though much of the material is pretty basic.
