This review is from: Investing for the Financially Challenged (Paperback)
Mr. Updegrave's book, Investing for the Financially Challenged, is a comprehensive, interesting, informative and sometimes funny book a stock market novice will love. I plan to read it several times and order several more copies as Christmas presents for my sons.

This review is from: Investing for the Financially Challenged (Paperback)
I found the information in this book straightforward and helpful for novice investors. The book covers the basics of investing (investment types, diversification, indexing, the beauty of compound interest, etc.) and makes a handy guide for investors.

This review is from: Investing for the Financially Challenged (Paperback)
I've tried to read other financial advice books, but usually found them to be tedious. This one is full of straightforward, practical advice that is easy to incorporate into real life. Mr. Updegrave also writes for Money Magazine, so he knows how to explain financial matters clearly. As an added bonus, his sly wit will make you smile.
