I don’t really like it.

Revisado: 04-16-25

Too long for the amount of information given. I don’t like page-filler information. Just don’t have time for it. Stories are too long although I like the Stories he tells…but only when I have time for them.

I really hate big long books if the information isn’t necessary.


Also the narrator is great (5 stars) at what he does. But in general I prefer books are in American accent. Just easier for me to understand. I don’t know the purpose of using other accent, especially for a how-to book like this ….written by an American author.

Good for a 15 to 19 yo girl

I think it’s a bit on superficial side. I do highly recommend it for teenagers or people who don’t know immigrant families. For me there isn’t a lot to learn. It’s more like watch an episode of sitcoms.

I think Korean foods are smelly as a vegetarian

Revisado: 04-22-24

I bought a physical book from Amazon plus this audiobook for studying English.

Con: I almost threw up listening to the food descriptions. I could recall the dead flesh smells covered by even smelly scallions and onions in Korean food.

Too much food scenes. I don’t really care about Korean foods. It’s all about scallion and red pepper. They remove the authentic taste from each food.

Racism: how author thought white people can’t tell Asian faces apart. This is doubly racism. In reality, according to psychologists, adults cannot recognize faces of different races they aren’t familiar with in their childhood.

Pro: author wrote well. She describes scene well. Took a while to get into the character. But once I did, it was good.

3 generations: grandma’s husband cheated and left the wife. Mom’s husband paid for women chronically. What do you think the trajectory going forward? It’s fact of life for men.

a good book for teenagers, college grads or people who don't know anything about investment. But in any case, there is too many fillers. The 10-hour book can be condensed to 1 and a half hours. She talks a lot of her personal life that has not much to do with investment.

I think most people don't care about the author's law degree or her feelings in the phone conversations with her Dad. Readers want to know the content and application of the knowledge... we don't need editorial comments about her internal emotions since their importance is negligible.

I guess I am not interested in this book as a memoir of her discovery in investment.

The author had fun writing it but it was difficult to me.

She is a great reader, dramatic and theatrical, but ...also with too much of teenage exaggeration for every ounce of thought and feeling. It was hard to stay focused. I didn't know when to pay close attention to the important things. I was listening for cues but her vocal cues were misleading.

Anyway I only listened to the second chapter. I skipped 90% of the first chapter. I will try to finish the book. SO far, this book sounds very childish.

Sex and the City-ish

Revisado: 07-19-20

The author narrates well. But too much of a drama queen for me. Reads like a novel but it is a memoir. Pretty scary, right? Her command of English is fantastic. She is a professional writer. I probably learn more about that than anything else. I think she exaggerates her stories, so I don't appreciate that. It's psychotic....oh, that is why it was made into a movie. I give a 5 star for narration and 1 star for story..

fear 101: if you are new to this realm, get it.

But if you are a senior tackling this on a different level, don't get it. I only listened to the first hour and the first interview, it is a bit juvenile to me. I am not sure what makes Mel the expert on this topic. Very strange. But at least she is trying to help, so maybe it helps the world in some ways.

Hmm I couldn't continue after the first hour.

Too wordy. I just wanted to know the facts. Her experience. I would eliminate poetry. Just don't have time for it in an important story. Sorry.

Data not readily applicable. But there aren't other books so this is the best option. Anyone knows if there is a better book?
