I bought this book by mere chance while in London last Christmas. I had finished the book I had brought with me for the trip and while cruising a bookstore looking for something to read this title caught my eye. I almost didn't buy it due to the title, thta seemed like typical bs to me but the cover with some odd looking guy (that I latter found to be the author) and the reviews on the backcover got me curious.
In a couple of days I had read it and when I finished the last page I just sat there amazed. The only other "get rich" books I had read where from the Rich Dad series and even though the book had looked somewhat similar at first glance RK and Felix Dennis are almost complete opposites in a lot of points.
Reading some of success stories posted here made me remember the book and led me to write this review. Starting from nothing, gigantic difficulties and getting to the fast lane it's all there in the book. I think you guys should love it.
The author started his career penniless as an editor for Oz Magazine, that led to him being prosecuted for obscenity and sent to jail. He was only given a shorter sentence than his partner because the judge, considered Dennis "very much less intelligent" — and therefore less responsible — than his co-accused.
After that he had some success publishing and selling a biography of Bruce Lee just as interested in martial arts and the orient was exploding in the western world and he was also among the first to publish computer magazines. Now days is the owner magazines of some of the largest magazines in the UK such as Maxim and The Week.
And he really did it, Sunday Times Rich List 2004 ranked him at 65th with a fortune estimated at £585 million (a bit over $1 billion :fastlane:, you'll have to get a new tag if he decides to join the forum). To me this just sets him apart from all the self help gurus that made any money they have selling books and seminars that are supposed to teach you how to make it.
The book is also part memoirs with a lot of personal information on the authour, and gives you a glimpse at a darker side of his life, he recounts is drug abuse that almost killed him and the fantastic amounts he at one point was spending on prostitutes. Now days is vices seem to be good wine, fast cars and poetry.
Here's an extract of the book published in their website:
