I couldn't give this book 5 stars after I saw Goodreads rates 5 stars as "amazing". A book on Social Security probably can't be amazing just because of the subject matter. However I found lots of extremely clear information/computations and interesting background info on Social Security. I highly recommend this book to anyone nearing retirement age - read it BEFORE you file for SS.
