This is a very small book with lots of white space (I read it in less than an hour). Moreover, the author does not add hardly anything that is not available on the Prosper web site or Prosper forums. What the author does add is a lot of fear about consumer lending and constant warnings about how lending is risky business and you may lose everything! Read the Prosper web site and save your money.

Roger Steciak does a great job describing and sharing tips for lending on Prosper.com. The book is full of honest information that should be a must read before anyone even thinks about lending in this People-to-People arena. When I started the book, I thought "Who would do this?" There were so many warnings in the beginning, but then as I finished the book, I realized that it was refreshing to both learn alot and be told both the good and bad scenarios possible. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about Prosper.com, thinking of becoming a lender, or currently lending on Prosper.com. You will definately learn something new.

Prosper has transformed our traditional ideas of community building and social networking of lending money.

This book provides a blue print for lenders who want to help out other people by lending them money through the Prosper marketplace. By using the safe investment approach in this book, lenders can better manage their risk associated with lending money to friends they have never met.I just wish there was a little more meat, but a good read
