Serious topics many people don't understand and want to avoid, explained and illustrated in a simple and humorous way, makes for a best-seller. Definitely a book I want to read.

I read and reviewed this awesome eyeopener which explains macroeconomics in a way that even a layman can understand. I got to understand the global economic system well through it. Thank you for an amazing review of the book. Congratulations BOTD.

It's an unspoken rule that the rich keys getting rich, sometimes to the detriment of the poor. I believe this book will help the reader a better perspective of wealth.

I like that this handbook is concise and straightforward, not to mince words — or to miss up on even the least damning punctilio. Take for instance, Rule no. 8 of the 30 rules put in place after capitalism fell on its face: “Preach what you practice. You have to respect a man that can get poor people to buy him two jet planes in the name of God.” And in the new set of 25 rules that will make the billionaires much wealthier, Rule No. 3 reads: “Be a dick; in the (sic) game of life, sin beats virtue.” Well, we didn’t have to be mussed so much on this one. Probably, it was written and meant to be satirical.

I'll certainly love to read this book. I like the humor described.
I think that the story of the top 1% can't be explored. There sure has to be a way for one to crossover.

I like the comparison you made to Monty Python, this piqued my interest! However the American politics put me off again, so I'm giving this one a miss. Not what I expected at all from the title/cover. Thought this would be a non-fiction or self-help style book...not a spoof!

I would normally ignore anything pertaining to politics but this book stands out especially because of the humorous aspect of it. I think Andrew did a great job. Who wouldn't want to know the content of the billionaires' handbook?

Politics impacts our lives, whether one loves it or not. This is a very interesting book that explores politics and I must say you gave an amazing review; I enjoyed reading it and I look forward to reading the book. Thanks.

I think its great that the book is educating people on politics through humour, and am all here for it. It also sounds to be thought-provoking, which is definitely what am looking for.

I enjoyed reading the review of the book. I don't normally enjoy reading books about politics, but when the reviewer said that the book has humor in it, that made me interested in wanting to give this book a try.

This book sounds interesting and I can't wait to read it. Though I am not interested in politics, I know politics affect us in one way or another and since it's combined with humor, I will definetetly give a try. I also loved how your review is written.
