I find the last couple responses particularly interesting. I knew at some point, someone somewhere would downplay the book on the forum and was wondering how that would come about. Everyone's certainly going to have an opinion, but if anyone out there is on the fence about reading the book, give it a go. Worst case as the above posters say is you'll be motivated. I've payed much more than the cost of the book to be motivated before 
However it has completely altered the way I, and everyone I've personally handed the book to including friends and family see reality. It's had more impact on me personally than any book I've read in my life. I certainly can't promise it'll have that effect for everyone, but it continues to impact my decisions daily. Some of it, maybe a lot of it is simple. I wouldn't call it "common" sense (if everyone had "common sense" our nation wouldn't be in such a large debt we can't even afford the minimum payments)... although the information is certainly logical. I'm a firm believer in that the right solution is most often the simple solution, requiring a lot of hard work and a lot of faith. There's no magic solution in this book, unless you consider that you the reader, become the solution. The author used all his advice to achieve his wealth and didn't write about it until afterwards. I know that if he woke up with all his money missing one day, he would be able to do it all over again.
