It's an informative, but it's heavily promoting Vanguard products which aren't the best financial products on the market. I bought two Vanguard mutual funds after read this book in 1999. One broke even after 7 years, which means I loss money on it if you count the 7 years interests. I'm still holding on the other one. After 10 years, it's still 30% in red. Needless to say, my impression of Vanguard mutual funds and this book isn't the best. Rating: - great overview This was a great overview of mutual funds with specific recommendations for which funds to buy for what purposes and time frames. Definitely a good buy! Rating: - A more than adequate review of how mutual funds work and why you should invest in them. Very little fund-picking advice. This is a great resource for those wanting to know more ABOUT mutual funds, not for those wanting to know WHICH mutual funds to buy. Heavy on the explanations, definitions, and categorizations; light on the criticism and praise of individual funds. While you do get a bit of "how to pick the right funds", it is all fairly basic, with nothing very stunning or surprising that will make you a better mutual fund-picker.

If that sounds like you, I HIGHLY recommend this book. It is TRULY what it says it is...you may be a beginning investor when you begin the book, but you'll feel confident enough to make thorough investigations into prospective funds by the time you finish it! It is an 'easy read' book with easily understandable text. Rating: - financial planning Eric does a good job of a broad view of the particular subject matter at hand. My only issue is that the books are highly overlapping. A structure with the original book on personal finance with additional chapters on subtopics would likely have avoided all the duplication. see more
