The book, The Billionaires’ Handbook, is written by Andrew Stevenson. The book starts with the History of the changing global economy. The author is a billionaire who wrote this book to share with us his rules on how to become a billionaire in today’s economy. This book has very short write-ups per rule that are illustrated with colorful pictures. Read this book to see how you will have to change your perception on various issues in order to adopt this author’s controversial views and rules.

I liked that this book of only 96 pages took me one sitting to read. The author has included illustrations to make it easy for the reader to understand. The author is very straightforward and throws in a bit of humor where he knows that he has stepped on the reader’s toe. This makes the book very interesting.

This book is written in the American context and may not easily be understood by those whose economic, political, education and health systems differ from that of the United States of America. This is what I did not like the most because I struggled to understand some rules that do not apply to my economy.

This 96-paged book falls in the nonfiction genre and is written in the first and second-person perspective. I came across a couple of mistakes that did not detract from the reading. I liked the author’s writing style of incorporating illustrations and the formatting of the book which was well done. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars as there is no higher rating. The author goes straight to the point when setting the rules regardless of whether the reader will like them or not. I would not give this book a lower rating because it is well written and interesting to read.

I recommend this book to those who would like to know the rules set by a billionaire as a guide to wealth and power. It would also be appealing to those who would like to have a quick read. For those whose economies are not similar to the one of the United States of America, there is a lot to be learned regardless. As this is a book about wealth creation, I did not find any vulgarity or profanity. This book can be read by all who are age-appropriate to understand wealth.
