Having re-read “A Caribbean Mystery”, it seems right to re-read this.

GWM living in Oregon.I used to love books that would really stretch me, but lately I've needed more solace from the books that I read.
My ratings are as follows: * 5 stars: it's truly a great book, and I'll want to re-read it again and again. * 4 stars: it's a good book, and I enjoyed reading it. I'll probably re-read it. * 3 stars: It's a fine book, just not special. I may re-read it if I'm looking to just relax and not have to think, but I would probably pick up a new book instead. * 2 stars: I finished it, but might have given up if I were in a different mood. * 1 star: I didn't enjoy the book and probably didn't finish it. I wouldn't blanketly recommend against it, because it might speak to someone else.

ApparentParadox finished reading Simple Path to Wealth by J. L. Collins
I just skimmed a lot of the book, because it was quite repetitive.
ApparentParadox reviewed Simple Path to Wealth by J. L. Collins
OK, but not a lot there
2 stars
It really feels like the guy gets paid by Vanguard, although he claims that he doesn't. There is a lot of repetition in this book. Maybe some people need to hear the same thing multiple times to have it sink in, but I just found it annoying. I also think that by focusing on reducing spending he misses the point that paying for experiences that will give you good memories is also important. You can end up in assisted living with lots of money and no good memories of trips or attending concerts, etc. You might also die young. Focusing solely on some distant future isn't right.
