Little to do with liviing abroad,
By A Customer
This review is from: Personal Finance for Overseas Americans: How to direct your own financial future while living abroad (Paperback)
I couldn't have been more disappointed by this book. It was 95% basic finance topics and 5% dealing with finances for living abroad. And the 5% was so basic that it was barely worthwhile. Not only was the book mistitled for it's content, but the style was condescending and repetitive. It's the first time that I'll be returning a book to Amazon.com

Covers the Basics Better than the Overseas Part,
By A Customer
This review is from: Personal Finance for Overseas Americans: How to direct your own financial future while living abroad (Paperback)
I found this book heavy on the basics of financial investing, planning, and taxation and very light on specific financial information relevant to overseas living and American expats. I think the author would be well-served to assume most expats have some basic knowledge about finances (i.e., what is a stock, etc.) and dig much deeper into the complex world of expat finances.

Not about living overseas at all!,
This review is from: Personal Finance for Overseas Americans: How to direct your own financial future while living abroad (Paperback)
I am seconding the earlier review posted which made the point that this book contains largely generic financial advice, with almost nothing related to living overseas. A _big_ disappointment.
