From a sampling, this seems like an interesting book about billionaires, but with a bit of humor that I agree is similar to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It seems like it will be worth a second look. Well done.

I enjoyed the dry humor of Monty Python and Douglas Adams, so this sounds like a good fit for me! Great review!

A brilliant spoof of the 1% superrich that rule the American nation sounds like an interesting and humorous read.

The Billionaires’ Handbook by Andrew Stevenson sounds really different in terms of writing and explaining the point. It seems interesting and it made me thinking about reading it.

This seems like a parody on the top 1% super rich population. I think it's a realistic and well-timed book. It definitely deserves a sampling. Thank you for the amazing review.

I loved the review. Fantastic! I was sold on the use of humour in this book. The author delivers some very real facts that the super rich employ to remain rich. I certainly could use the insights while getting entertained.

Taking on a sardonic tone, today's BOTD talks about the "rules" set and followed by the super rich to turn the tables in their favor...and keep them that way. It's told in the 1st person POV, and while it may bring about some laughs, the reality of it all is quite frightening. Great review! Thanks! :-)

Great review! I love that there is humor incorporated in this book, since the subject is otherwise dry at best, and depressing at worst.

This sounds like a unique book full of idioms and humor. I find this statement captivating
The book isn't painful because it's bad, it's painful because it's terrifyingly real.
It makes me want to grab a copy ASAP. Incredible review.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it has that “it’s-funny-cause-it’s-true” vibe. Wealth and politics go hand-in-hand in my book and this little spoof book highlights exactly that. I agree that this book deserves a 4 out of 4 rating.

Sounds interesting and at least in the end it provides a sort of a solution. Great review.
