Customer Review: Excellent advice
This book gives excellent advice primarily about mutual fund investing and retiring. It is basically a primer on retirement planning and leans heavily toward Vanguard funds. It is easy to read and has lots of common sense advice and examples proving the authors’ suggestions.

Customer Review: Not bad, but not good either. Two stars
Vitaliy Katsenelson’s book is written in three sections: a background section, a section on active value investing strategy, and a section on applying his active value investing strategy. It’s quite a friendly read which any reader with a basic knowledge of investing terms could make sense of and learn from it. The writing style is colloqial however, and the author uses pop culture references to illustrate his points. An example of bad taste is a paragraph that attempts to use Steve Irwin’s tragic death as an analogy for risk and risk management strategies.
