Official Review: The Billionaires’ Handbook

Official Review: The Billionaires' Handbook by Andrew Stevenson broadens my outlook and vision of the world. It is expressive and wholesome! It begins and ends well and the points relevant to the book are described in a way that is easy to understand! The element of humor present in the book draws the attention of the readers!

I must admit that when I saw the title and the cover, I wasn't pulled in. In fact, I felt put off reading it altogether. Then I read your review. It really shows that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I will definitely be giving this book a read. Thank you for your review!

I'll admit that I was a bit confused at first - I'm a firm believer in burying my head in the sand and ignoring politics - but I learned a lot from the book. The humor is spectacular, and I didn't see any grammatical errors whatsoever. But the best thing about the book is that, while the author sets a very bleak scene for the past and particularly for the present, he lays out a potential future where the 99% take back our country. Under the guise of the superrich narrator getting older and wanting to be remembered as "The Greatest American of the Twenty-First Century," "Andrew" offers up some sage advice for getting out of this mess. Far too often, books that rip readers' rose-colored glasses from their faces make some valid points about the "real world", but then leave us to wallow in hopeless misery.

I tend to do the same and avoid, as much as possible, all political and economic news that just make me anxious and depressed. But, let's face it, information is power. And if it comes written in such a witty and hilarious way, much the better.
I loved your candid review. You captured me from the opening line, and the last example from Monty Python's Life of Brian is amazing. Thanks!

I have to agree with this review. This book has a way of shining light on common-sense reality, while drawing us into the humor of it all. I also liked the fact that it shows ways to improve. It's a bonus that it's so well-edited! Thanks for the great review!

I agree that money doesn't buy happiness but it buys pretty much everything. Recently I'm researching what makes the rich richer, the shrinking of middle class, and the poor get poorer. This book is totally to my list. Alas, this title isn't available in my region (not American here). However, I have this in my wishlist.

I love the fact that this is realistic for anyone in the economic market. Great review

A book about the American landscape and politics. Throw in some religion sounds like a great read and must have some amazing insightful topics. Thanks for a comprehensive and informative review.

Thanks for the interesting review of this book. I honestly didn't think that it would interest me so I put it on my "not interested shelf" but thanks to your review my interest has been piqued. I think that I'll check this book out when I have the time at a later date. Thanks!

I agree with the review, this book is terrifyingly real! It is impossible to put it down. It is highly addictive but scary like literary cocaine!

I agree, the author's sarcastic humor was entertaining. It seems like a good read for the 99%

I liked your review so much! I think you have that gift as the author's in writing. I especially liked your description "frighteningly-real-but-totally-kidding-or-else-we're-all-screwed book". I usually don't like non-fiction but this one is definitely worth the sample. Your review is truly an enjoyable read. Thanks for the review!
