5 stars all the way!

Schools should make this book a mandatory reading for high school students. This is a good book to start teaching them about financial responsibility. I wish I got to read this book when I was in grade school. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed the original version my grandmother gave me 50 years ago. The first paragraph of the first page of the "Modern English Version" (page six of the book ) states about Bansir "He is a little bit tired of life, not really happy, but didn't want to die...." The dedication says it was written into modern language for a nine year old son. With the suicide rate what it is for youth, why start the book out that Bansir was "tired of life"? There are so many other ways the book could have started.

I loved this book for the sneak peek it gave me to the history of Babylon. I will always be indebted to the tales of this book for it has taught me a lot.

I wish I would have read it before. This book is a tool to help people to achieve their dreams. Anyone who wants to be rich must read this book. It is a treasure of knowledge.

I would recommend this to the ones who think making money is for the rich. It's for everyone!Give it a go. Decide for yourself.

Wonderful book on personal finance
