5.0 out of 5 stars The single most valuable book on finance, yet fun to read., 28 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Richest Man In Babylon (Unknown) (Paperback)
This book should be given to every person entering Junior High School to prepare them for life. But the funny thing is that most adults don't know these practical lessons for life. Follow this simple strategy for living and you will be rich--it's inevitable. A very interesting story to read, teaches the most valuable lessons one can learn about saving and investing. If I could only have one of my 115 invetment books, this is the one that I would pick. I give copies to friends and reread it each year. The best single book on personal finance to own. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a fine wine, this book gets better with age, 15 Feb 2005
By Mr. E. J. Lowe "edlowe690" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Richest Man in Babylon (Paperback)
This book educates the reader about the way to improve one's personal finances. It uses a parable format to explain how two friends learnt how to improve their poor financial situation. They sought the advice of a friend whose wealth appeared to be limitless. Amongst the parables are references to modern day examples. It was the letter sent by the English University Professor that I found most inspiring.

The writing style is old English. This does make it hard to follow at first. It will take a chapter or two to 'get to grips' with the style. From there on it is easy and will soon become easy to read. It is not a long book so will start slow and finish fast.

I can highly recommend anyone to read this book. The advice offered is simple. If followed it will inevitably lead the reader to an improved financial future. I felt empowered and richer as soon as I read the final words. I will not be offering this book for resale as I continually refer to the sound advice that has lasted thousands of years.

5.0 out of 5 stars CORRECT FINANCIAL ADVICE EASILY READ AND UNDERSTOOD, 5 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Richest Man in Babylon (Paperback)
Most personal finance books are written to be clear, and to get you to save money, invest it well, prepare for your future and so forth. But the message often does not stick. This beautifully told tale takes those important lessons and conveys them to you like you have received them from a loving grandparent or parent. The care and concern for your well-being are evident in this book, and you feel joy in following the advice. This book is as heart-warming a treatment of how to have more financial success as I have ever read. If you want to share one book with your children about what the rules of financial success are, share this book. I underlined key points in my copy, and I can review the lessons that I need in five minutes or less. I look at those lessons several times a year, and take pleasure in have heeded their message. I wish I could write a book this good. If you have financial problems today, you may feel that you cannot recover. You should be more optimistic. Start following these rules as soon as you can, and your situation will improve remarkably. You will earn an enormous return on your investment in this book. Having made that first great investment, you will soon learn to make many more.
