Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am by no means an economist. I'm fairly new to investments and dealing with long term money like retirement. I heard about this book through a link on CNN and I found it interesting based on the review that was posted on CNN. I wouldn't normally read something about the economy, it really has to grab my attention. At first this book DID grab my attention and held it.... until about two chapters in when I realized how REDUNDANT it is. It feels like the SAME ideas and sentences are forced down your throat over and over and over. At one point I thought I'd accidentally flipped back a few pages and was re-reading something I had already read, but then I realized they had just inserted an almost identical paragraph a few pages after the first one. Some of it was insightful. Some of it I could probably utilize in day to day life. But literally half way thru the book I was bored. I found myself skipping through pages because I was getting so bored by the repetition. There wasn't a really good flow to this book. It feels like they didn't have enough written for it to be taken seriously, so they just kept rewording and repeating themselves as a way of just filling pages. I think most people are smart enough to realize the economy is not recovering. Also just hearing about the amount of government debt is enough to make anyone nauseated. It's not hard to figure out the basics that they repeat over and over and over in this book. I say skip it, it's not worth the $10 or more dollars that it's being sold for.
