Title: The Lack of Money Is the Root of All Evil: Mark Twain's Timeless Wisdom on Money, and Wealth for Today's Investor by Andrew Leckey, Mark Twain, John C. Bogle, Louis J. Budd ISBN: 0-7352-0219-2 Publisher: Prentice Hall Press Pub. Date: 01 January, 2001 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $22.00 |

Summary: Very Disappointed
Comment: The blurbs for this book are very misleading. It is a text for beginning investors. Each chapter starts with a quote from Twain, but it has little else to do with him. The entire references to Twain probably don't exceed 5 pages of text. If you are interested in Mark Twain - forget it. Not much here. If you are interested in basic investing principles - likewise forget it - I have seen much better.
Rating: 3
Summary: More Twain, Less Leckey
Comment: I was hoping this book would be more Twain and less Leckey. I was disappointed. Each chapter starts with one quote from Twain, and Leckey provides some background context. That's about 10% of the book. The other 90% is Investing 101 stuff.
Rating: 4
Summary: A lighthearted investment primer
Comment: The author intertwines Mark Twains' insight, humor, and timeless wisdom with the current investment landscape. This is a good, yet basic primer for someone wanting to understand investment opportunities and pitfalls available today. It provides perspective on speculative opportunities, scams, and solid investments, choices that have been available to the novice and savvy investor alike since Twains' time.
The book contains 49 easily digestible chapters including: "The Law of Averages Eventually Makes You Right", "He Who Hesitates Can Save a Lot More" "Mutual Fund Expenses Can Hoodwink You" "Every Period in History Had It's Fools Gold", all applicable to today's investor.
There are many similar books on the market offering the same or similar advice. If you enjoy Mark Twain, and prefer your investment reading to be sprinkled with his perspective, buy this one, otherwise keep looking, you'll find another equally good book that provides the basics.
