Summary: Not sure
Date: 2008-10-30 - 
Comment: My concern after reading this book is did Orman follow her own advice to gain prosperity or did she gain prosperity from her other ventures? Not all of us can have a television show or sell millions of books. I can't help but question if her advice really works.

Summary: This Book Will Offend Men !!!!!!!!!
Date: 2008-10-01 - 
Comment: Overall this is an OK book, with pretty good information. It poses financial questions that Suze then answers. The problem is that in 99% of the situations i.e. divorce, prenuptual agreements, or any other situation where the relationship does not work out, IT'S THE MAN'S FAULT. I am about 3/4's of the way through the book and I feel like I'm being insulted on almost every page.
A prenuptual, a will in trust, or any other legal document is always to protect the woman. If you are a male you will definetly be offended by this book. AVOID IT.
Again, while the book has good information, I would look for an author who has experienced fewer issues with the men in his/her life.
Summary: Good overall information
Date: 2008-09-24 - 
Comment: I bought this book as I watch Suze whenever I can find her on TV. While I have invested for sometime, I wanted to review some basic information on insurance. I then let a friend of mine borrow it as she is just starting out in the investment arena. This book is a great overall read and good for research when you find yourself ready to buy insurance, invest in 401 K's, IRA's or any other area you may have questions in. It is a hefty book coming in just a little short of 600 pages. Arm yourself with knowledge-I cannot think of a better book to keep around for research and knowledge.
Summary: Great reference book for a newcomer to the world of finance

Comment: Don't know whether to invest in a 401k at work? Or how to best start saving for that new baby's college? Do I need a living will? These kind of questions invariably crop up as you start living life away from the nest, and Suze Orman does a very adept job at tackling the answers in a way that is readable and understandable by people who don't have expertise coming in.
I like the way the book is organized. She presents her personal opinions on subjects at the start of each chapter, but the rest is dedicated to rapid fire Q&A. Find the question you have (pretty easy to do) and she gives you a digestable answer to get you started on the right path. I love that it's not a "cover-to-cover" sort of book...because that can get a bit dry.
I get the sense that any real expert in the field would find some of her answers overly simplistic, but that's a minority of the population, and for those people, there's reams of other books to consider. For the rest of us, this book is a perfect and easy way to get started in the world of personal finance.

Summary: Thorough and Understandable
Date: 2008-03-31 -
Comment: As Suze Orman indicates at the beginning of this book, "The Road to Wealth" provides practical information for people who look to Suze Orman for clear, honest financial perspectives. Overall, the book is in a question and answer format with explanations of all new terms and examples which confirm the reader's understanding of the material. The chapters may be read independently if a single subject is of concern, or in order. I started at the beginning of the book and have read straight through. I've found the presentation of value personally and have insight, as well, into issues which may be ahead for me or are impacting people whom I know. This is both a reference book and an introduction to financial planning.
