A Decent Collaboration!! ( kully75 )
This is a book for the fans. I define fans as people who will buy everything their favorite author or guru puts out and might read it but probably won't.
I got a lot of "You can do it", and personal observations on what it takes to become rich. Some of the points though I have issue with. For instance, when Kiyosaki starts off with his ratios...you know 80-20, 90-10 stuff...I mean, I hear ya with stick to what you're good at, but what's wrong with trying new things? If you mess up...oh well.
Trump is just along for the ride. He figured free publicity and just rambles about basic stuff.
If you want to save a couple of bucks....re-read RDPD and Guide To Investing.

 Very good book
I enjoyed pretty much reading this book, it was interesting to see that both of this famous men where once in their life in financial crisis and have huge experience in how to make money work for you instead of working for it; I recommend this book and confirm that in this world if someone wants to succeed and concentrates all of his efforts to do it there's no doubt excellent results can be gained. It comes to my mind Frank Sinatra's song New York, New York when he sings the part of "If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere..." that's in summary what I learned from both Mr. Trump and Mr. Kiyosaki

 If you read Rich Dar Poor Dad you don't need this book ( oreste191 )
Rehashed information about Rich Dad Poor Dad. Donald Trump's side of the book is usually like a paragraph summary of what Robert said.

 Great Book!
This is a great book by two excellent authors. I really like how the authors speak on the pertinent global issues that will affect us all financially if the educational institutions continue to ignore the importance of financial freedom and education, thus producing more voluntary and involuntary slaves (JOB) in the workforce instead of business owners (Visionary). These type of individuals will always exist. That's why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. "You can't keep doing the same thing expecting different results!" This book was a great eye opener for me personally and professionally. As time changes, we as a people must change or be forced to change, or become one of those complacent minded people Donald and Robert speak about. It was amazing to see some of the reviews about this book were negative. I am glad that 2 individuals on almost opposite sides of the wealth of digits could come together and produce valuable information to those who are looking for the foundation. We all should know that you can't build a house without first having the foundation. The ones who do understand this will appreciate WHY, Donald and Robert want us to be rich.

Could be a lot less thick... ( arjan139 )
After a lot of repetition of the same message from the introduction, the book sort of takes off from around page 86 or so. So if you buy the book, just start from there after reading the intro.
There's a lot of crap in between as well that's sometimes almost hilarious (Like a diagram that is proudly called the Cashflow Quadrant with four letters and custom designed lines to be able to claim it as a trademark. The "quadrant" really is nothing more than just those four letters and doesn't convey any more information than what the four letters stand for, which sort of makes the whole diagram redundant.)
But there is a little insight as well. Actually quite an eye-opener. Well, for me personally that is. The book makes a difference in investors who invest not to lose, and investors who invest to win. It sounds like not much of a difference, but it is. You play 'not to lose' by diversifying. But you play to win by focusing. So - as Buffet said - do put all your eggs in one basket, but keep a good eye on the basket.
Diversifying is what you do when you don't know a thing about investing. And that is exactly what financial experts advise you if you want to invest, and what you pay them for when you ask them to invest your money. This is investing 'not to lose'. Which is actually a secure way to know you will never win. As in really win.
That's what I found was quite an interesting observation and made the book worthwile for me and made me decide to review my way of investing money. But I guess I could have done with just that quote from Warren Buffet. Then I wouldn't have had to go through a lot of the selfmasturbation of the writers.
