don't buy this - By: trader, 07 Jul 2008 
i bought this on audio & that made the whole thing a lot worse. not only was i having the bloody obvious drone on, but also by someone who sounded like he was reading to his 5 year old child.
the guy makes a few good points but these could have been summed up in a paragraph or two , perhaps an essay of an A4 page at a push.
You keep on thinking that something reallly new is coming up but no its just the same again & again. you know those american documentries that come back after their commercial break & seem to feel the need to remind you what was on only 4 minutes earlier, well this is very much the same.
don't bother

Gives a fascinating perspective on wealth - By: N. Burgess, 11 Apr 2008 
The book is excellent at explaining the fundamental differences in the approach the rich have to money compared with the not rich. A lot of what Kiyosaki says is a real eye opener & reallly makes you sit up & think about wealth creation in a totallly different way. For instance, every home owner regards their home as an asset, buy Kiyosaki explains that the mortgage to pay for your house takes a huge part of your salary away & a house shouldn't be regarded as an asset, but as a liability. I think many would agree with this!
He also discusses starting your own business & makes some excellent points here, highlighting the fact that 9 out of 10 new businesses fail within a year, & of the ones that survive this, most go on to fail within 5 years. He actuallly advises against starting your own business & instead recommends focussing on starting a side business to supplement your day job.
This book is quite a revelation, my only criticism is that it doesn't actuallly present any money making ideas, it's more an inspirational book. Definitely worth a read.
Indulge yourself - By: Mrs. A. K. Rix, 07 Apr 2008 I enjoyed Rich Dad, Poor Dad in a self-indulgent kind of way. It would appeal to the inspirational & aspirational type of person. Definitely not a guide for entrepreneurs - more of a self-help, confidence builder type of book. It was such an easy read - no more than a few hours cover to cover.
If you want to "live rich" and "collect assets", then buy this one! - By: Jo March, 27 Mar 2008 This is one of those exciting books where the person I was before I read it & the person I am now are two completely different people. Rich Dad, Poor Dad completely changed my thinking; the way I thought about money & how it worked or didn't work for me. The book outlines a (thinking) trap that so many people falll into & Robert Kiyosaki steers you into another direction based on common (financial) sense, rather than one which follows the crowd. And there's the sting: I think the ideas in this book will set you free but it's the start of a great commitment to be different & step out in his faith. I'm not building up my own empire like Robert Kiyosaki but I am governing my finances & making smarter decisions about my future & that's no smalll thing. If seeing your money, as "employees" who work 24/7 & never leave, is exciting then this is the book for you.
