Very stupid. Only two or three chapters I found interesting (not that helpful either).

This one was really hit-and-miss for me. Many of the chapters were uninteresting and pretty obvious, especially in the first half of the book. However, some of the later chapters, i.e. How To Declare Bankruptcy, How To Cook The Perfect Steak, How To Buy Cigars, were actually interesting to read and I maybe learned a thing or two. It was an okay casual, quick read, but not one that I'd necessarily recommend as a whole.

Maybe useful for American but not for the rest of the world and most of the "facts" make me laugh when I read them, have no idea why. I do, however, love tips on how to cook the perfect steak and how to cook for your woman.

Bought in an airport. A little weird, especially for an impressionable 21-year-old (especially the parts about how to have a threesome or how to cheat on your wife).... It helped me a lot with my poker game though.
