I give the book a score of three out of ten.

It is dated by eleven years. It covers some of the financial gurus long gone. One was popular in the 1930s and died thirty years ago. It fails to cover the bad advice of some gurus. For example she briefly covers Dave Ramsey but doesn't mention the recommendations that he gives to high load but funds by agents which pay him a referral fee or that 12% annual return touted by Ramsey isn't realistic.

There are better books.
