5.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste time, buy it !!, July 26, 2004
This review is from: Don't Waste Money, Spend it!: Undecided (Paperback)
Don't Waste Money, Spend It by Lisa Wysocki is a must read for everyone! It's an easy to read, smart and witty guide to spending money wisely. It is filled with sound advice on building the all-important nest egg. Ms. Wysocki's step by step approach will make the most ardent spendthrift repent.

Through her many tips and anecdotes, I feel empowered as a consumer. I will no longer cower and accept inferior service or merchandise. I will continue to use this invaluable book as a reference to help me reduce waste and fight for my rights and my money.

This review is from: Don't Waste Money, Spend it!: Undecided (Paperback)
I was looking forward to reading this book because I had read and heard such positive things about the book and Ms. Wysocki. But well into Chapter Three, Ms. Wysocki was still giving a preface, and assuring the reader she would get to the nuts and bolts of her strategies any minute.

By the time I got into Chapter Three, I saw that the book is so laden with glaring grammatical errors and typographical errors that I began to wonder about the accuracy of the text. Examples: laundry "shoot" and "Suzy" Ormond; "parent's" when the plural was meant; James Clavell's "Nobel House," the spelling of which is repeated in the same paragraph. (It should read "Noble House.") There are one to three such mistakes on almost every page so far.

I made my living as a proofreader and editor for many years. It's tedious work but someone has to do it, and I love it and am very good at it. I still "informally" proofread any book I pick up. There are so many word usage and spelling errors in "Don't Waste Money..." that I can't "read through" them.

If Ms. Wysocki's manuscript is loaded with sound advice and is factually correct, she was done a great disservice by those who readied her book for publication. It's a shame, because her style is appealing and her credentials sound. Perhaps her advice is, too, but I wouldn't know and am probably not going to find out.

I received "America's Cheapest Family" on the same day, and am much more satisfied with it.
