 A let down January 29, 2008
S. A. Mcleod (wigan)
I was looking forward to reading this book.
Unfortunately there was nothing in this book that I didn't already know.
If you want a good book on general finance and how to create wealth try the
Motley Fool UK Investment Guide.
 simple rules easy to understand December 20, 2007
Iago Zabibha (Worcester United Kingdom)
This is for the financial amateurs amongst us. Those who need some basic guidelines on how to get wealthier. Most of this is common sense, but worth following, examining compound interest, patching up financial leaks and not scrimping on that capuccino (you won t make a significant savings and you will just feel miserable).
 A book about money i could understand September 11, 2007

Most books about money are impossible to read and hard to understand. This one is different. Entertaining - in fact downright funny in places - and wise it's not really about money at all but about you and your attitude. I love the Rules books and this one is as good as the others i've read.
reassuringly wealthy August 17, 2007

I've always been a bit scared of money, I don't really understand the investment market and I'm never sure which way it is wise to jump - especially at the moment. I've always shied away from books about personal finance as when i read the first page my head starts to spin. But having enjoyed the other Rules books I thought I'd give this one a go and I've found it fantastic. Really helped me understand how the wealthy think and simple things I can do to have more money. There's a lot of common sense in here "Spend less than you earn" but it's the kind of common sense that you need to be reminded to put into practice. So if you want to be wealthier then this book will certainly put you on the right track.
 Some wheat amongst the chaff June 24, 2007

I've not read any of Mr Templar's other books, so this isn't a comment on the rest of his work. But this book is largely a mix of the obvious, the repetitious and the contradictory. There are roughly a dozen interesting points in the 100 rules - but many of these are gleaned from elsewhere. To give Mr Templar credit, though, he occasionally ackowledges his sources for these.
On top of this, the book is littered with basic copy errors - sloppy punctuation and grammar mistakes such as 'have a lot of energy and are knowledge about their investments' [p165]. As the key to success in finance is about paying attention to detail, this makes a louder statement than many of the 100 points - though whether it's a comment on Mr Templar or Pearson, the publisher, is open to debate.
