Book Review Instructions

You will choose a personal finance book and provide a review of its contents. Your review

should be single-spaced and consist of five sections.

Section 1- Who is the author(s)? What gives him or her the credibility to write the book?

It is acceptable to copy some of this information from sources such as the author’s web page or

the bookseller’s page, but do not copy all of it for your response. The primary purpose of this

section is to establish credibility. Mostly in your own words, let your reader know why they

should trust this author(s) for valuable information.

Section 2- Who is the target audience?

Not all personal finance books have the same purpose or the same intended audience. Who is

most likely to benefit from this book? Why?

Section 3- What information is in the book?

Provide an outline or table of contents for the book. It is acceptable to copy most of this

information from sources such as the author’s web page or the bookseller’s page.

Section 4- What are the four most important lessons/takeaways from the book?

Describe each in paragraph form, not simply a list.

Section 5- What is your recommendation?

On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 meaning “highly recommend,” what is your ranking? Does the book

fulfill its purpose? Why or why not? What are the major strengths? What are the weaknesses?
