Money in my pocket,
By Bob Belfer (Holly, MI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Politics, Money & Shtick (Paperback)
This is a must read for anyone who carries a credit card balance. I will be ahead several hundred dollars this year from the interest I will save. The documented evidence of a 3600%APR on pages 94&95 made my eyes bug out.

A truly necessary and wonderful book!,
By James Armour (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Politics, Money & Shtick (Paperback)
I must say first that the format of "Politics" takes some getting used to. Mr. Heselov goes from giving examples of how the general public is being taken advantage of by credit card companies and the resulting "Credit Card Cancer" to hidden secrets about mortgage companies and loans (his own bailiwick, with over 42 years experience), to anecdotes which go from O.J. Simpson to Michael Milken. Sometimes all in the same page, without any clear boundaries separating them! However, once you acclimate yourself to his unique writing style and get your "sea legs" beneath you, "Politics" is a truly remarkable and illuminating read. Interspersed with the author's own experiences and insights, he paints a picture with seemingly random strokes of the brush about the general climate of Big Business and the political arena. But, like paintings that look like a collection of random shades and layers of paint up close but magically transform into a vivid image when viewed from afar, "Politics" leaves the reader with a clear picture of the forces that lay just beneath the waterline in the political and financial world. Read it once all the way through, then keep it around and read the selections in random order! It is simultaneously amusing and shocking, and guaranteed to entertain and educate. I am on the verge of buying a house myself, and I definitely feel better prepared to face the lending companies after having read this book. Thank you, Mr. Heselov!
