1.0 out of 5 stars Cheek, June 20, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: 10 Smart Money Moves For Women : How to Conquer Your Financial Fears (Paperback)

I never write reviews, but Ms Briles' sheer cheek has made me want to.

The book itself is, well, mildly OK, simply not well enough written to really capture anyone's attention. The explanations about different financial products seem to have been written in a bit of a hurry and not revised. Unless you have a basic financial education, you won't understand much, and if you do, then you won't learn anything new. You'd be much better off reading something by David Bach.

The sheer cheek of the author is the way she logs on to Amazon to review her own book with five stars - twice. I suppose she was worried by the fact that nobody else had posted a review. Well, now I have.
