Reconfigurement: Reconfiguring Your Life at Any Stage and Planning Ahead by E. Alan Fleischauer is a comprehensive non-fiction guide aimed primarily at those planning for retirement. Drawing on his extensive experience as a financial advisor, Fleischauer covers various essential topics such as income protection, retirement planning, investments, and more.

One of the book's strengths lies in its accessibility, with Fleischauer using clear and understandable language throughout. This makes it suitable for a wide range of readers, regardless of their level of financial knowledge. I enjoyed how the author wrote about different retirement plans, especially the 401k. He highlighted the pros and cons of every single option and emphasized the importance of planning ahead. 

Humor plays a significant role in the book, adding a light-hearted touch to what could otherwise be a dry topic. While some jokes may resonate more with younger readers, they still contribute to making the material engaging and relatable. Typically, books about finance are perceived as boring, but definitely not this one, thanks to the endless humor attached to each section.

However, the inclusion of historical context may not appeal to all readers, particularly those more interested in practical advice for the present. Additionally, the absence of chapter titles could make it challenging for readers to navigate the content and understand the purpose of each chapter.

Despite these minor drawbacks, this book earns a rating of five out of five stars for its humor, wealth of information, and overall effort. I couldn't remove any stars because the negatives I discovered were too minor to act on. The absence of errors indicates thorough editing, further enhancing the reading experience.

I recommend this book to anyone planning for retirement, as well as those interested in financial planning and investment. Overall, this book offers valuable insights and guidance for readers at any stage of life. It is definitely a book to read again.
