Summary: Get this book at your library -- don't buy it!
Comment: Actually, my "stars" for this book go well into the negatives, but I wasn't given that option. I teach grant-writing classes, and Matt Lesko has become a thorn in my side. I've been hearing SO much about him from starry-eyed students that I decided I needed to arm up on my knowledge about these free grant money offers -- and most of all Matt Lesko. So I started to research him. He's very, very slick. I've been able to find highly negative and even incriminating reports about him on various Better Business Bureau websites and via the U.S. government Small Business Administration. Those are reputable sources, wouldn't you say? I've also read numerous complaints from some of the poor people who have bought his books or gone to his conferences. I now share this information with the people who come to my classes and say, "There's all of this free grant money out there!" -- and expect me to teach them how to write away for it. Unfortunately, even documentation from the U.S. government doesn't always change their minds. People want to believe what they want to believe. Every "believer" I've met claims to know someone -- usually a friend of a friend -- who got "free grant money." When I ask, "Where did they get it from?" the answer I always get is, "I don't know. I just know they got it." In a nutshell, USE YOUR HEAD, folks! Anything that sounds too good to be true usually IS too good to be true. Don't believe everything you read! This man is a scam artist. Please don't waste $30 or $40 to buy his books. If you're still not convinced, then at the very least, take a look at his books at your local library *before* you put your check into the mail. You can also find investigative reports about these free grant money offers in the article archives of Businessweek, msnbc.com, and various other reputable sources.

Summary: A slap in the face!
Comment: This guy is annoying. Everyone knows that a government loan isn't free money, and that getting approved for a grant is practically impossible for the average person. This exploitive book is like paying for the Yellow Pages, except it's not half as useful. Anybody who bought this obviously had a momentary lapse of judgment brought on by the disturbing and televised image of Lesko running around a water fountain in that appalling question-mark suit. If I ever see him walking around my downtown area, he's going to get a helping of second-hand creamed corn flung in his general direction. Hopefully he'll have the number to a good dry cleaners service. I eat Sugar Smacks for breakfast too, so he better run fast.

Summary: Use your head indeed
Comment: If you are a veteran, a student or a senior citizen this book is full of ideas that you are probabley already aware of. If you're young and in the prime of your youth don't even bother. There's no such thing as a free lunch and you're going to have to earn your way. In fact I find that this Lesko is a pretty slippery fellow bordering on weasel. He's pretty tricky with semantics and makes it sound like free money is just a phone call away. Yeah, well it is if you qualify or live in the particular state that has this program and chances are you don't. Also, Lesko likes to use words like beaurocrats, bills, mortgage, and credit card bills and tries to make it sound like you can get free money with a phone call. On the inside of the book you learn that it takes a lot of hardwork, and dillegence to even get through to the program you want. To me this guy is in the same league as those people that try to sell you miracle diets, as they both try to appeal to people that are looking for a quick fix.
