Absolutely fabulous review! Agreed on all accounts...this book sounds terrifyingly real

but it IS encouraging to hear that the author offers some hope at the end. What a clever little book!

I thought this would have given some samples of super rich elements and their ladder to wealth but this proved me wrong. These are rules that the 1% super rich people use to acquire more wealth for their kids and their grandkids. They sound arrogant and unaccomodating especially for the individuals who want to be on the right side of the law. Congrats on being BOTD.

I don't usually read books with politics, but you make this one sound captivating. I'm not sure how the author manages to do all that you say he does; that's insane! If you love a good spoof with themes that hit close to home, this would be for you. Thanks!

Wow! For a short book, it seems to pack quite a punch. I want to read this book to see how the author's thoughts compares to other books I've read on the broken economy and super rich. I have a feeling it will be pretty similar. Thank you for this light-hearted yet very serious review!

Andrew tells us how the super rich do not break rules.They follow them because they created them.This is a non fiction business guide to the economic market.

I am not all that big fan of English sense of humor, don't get the pun most of the times really, because it's just not funny in my opinion. So I believe you will have to excuse me, but I will pass this one. Congrats on BOTD!

The Billionaire's Handbook, a user's guide to wealth and power has my interest piqued, it's not often one gets a look behind the curtain to see how power works, definitely going on my to read shelf. Great Review.

When the subject of politics comes up, for me, its nice that the book is short, a little comical and an easy read! All the things I need to make it appealing. Thanks for the review!

This sounds like a very humorous read! I love how this spoof on the super rich tackles political issues. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

This sounds like a very entertaining read! I don't know much about the 1% or how they got there, so I'm interested to find out. Thanks for a thoughtful review!

Thanks for your review! I really liked the analogy you used at the start; it caught my attention. I have to agree with the author's sentiments. The super rich seem to rig the system so that they can stay in power and continue to amass more wealth. The illustrations sound eye-catching.

A fantastic review of an outstanding book. Indeed I believe the author creates a new genre, with the ingredients that you mentioned. Nothing from what I read in the book seems less than reality, and I even saw in the lines of the book one of the public figure billionaires who makes the news almost every day. Thank you!

You really got me with "...the super-rich don't break the rules, the follow the.... because they created them." I love reading about politics and the uncomfortable truths about what is happening. Thank you for the wonderful review!

"Owning the media so only the "right" news is told in the first place?" heheh
I hate this book already. A little too much brutal reality this early in the morning. *laughs nervously and puts at the top of reading list*

Thanks for the brilliant review!

I thought this was a self-help book! It is a pleasant surprise to find out it is not. Great review, I am curious about this almost dark humor you are describing...
