This review is from: Avoiding Common Financial Mistakes (Pamphlet)

This book is really a booklet, a tiny little document with 20 small pages of text. Though the information that it contains is good, there is so little that it is of negligible value. A few pages of simple text prevent Blue from engaging in any thoughtful depth. Rather, he throws out a few general concepts (debt is bad, buying expensive cars is bad, etc.) that should be common-sense. This might be a decent place to start for someone with virtually no understanding of basic financial principles, but even such a person will soon need to move on to something much more substantial.
