    Actually both. I think it has been a best seller in NY times of for like six years. Its why the middle class struggles in debt and why famous rich people are dropouts

    It is a real book.
    I tried to read it but couldn't finish it. Wasn't too fond of it.
    Check it out from your local library if your interested.

    It's a real book and I've heard of it. But I never read it. There's a lot of version for it.

    Individual thoughts, but I strongly disagree with you.
    I have read this book and its really worth a read.

    The concept is based on "In the school, we are taught how to work hard for money, and he tries to explain how we can make our money work hard for us".

    I like the book a lot.

    I certainly agree. I just wonder why some people find this garbage

    While there may be fictional elements to the book, I read it and found it to be very entertaining and enlightening. In my city we have (at least) two groups that meet monthly to play the CashFlow game.

    I've read it, I got two books but later got tired of it trying to motivate me over and over...

    I mean I'm motivated enough already.. I just wish it gives out some more details of the 'how to' not trying to excite me in the entire book.

    I haven't tried the game though, it looks like a good one but... it's kinda expensive.

    I read it and it was worth reading but didn't make it to my permanent library.

    Entertaining, some insights but overall lightweight.
