Didn't read it, but saw that all neg reviews done on same two days!

I have not read this book, but I am giving it five stars because I realized that all but one of the "one star" reviews were one on 27 and 28 November 2007, mostly by "licensed professionals." This is odd, as if a newsletter went to this community telling them to pan this publication (or maybe the same guy did them all under different names?). It just struck me as odd that these all happened on two consecutive days while the positive reviews were spread out over time.

A top pick for any public library collection.

There are plenty of books on retirement on the market, but what makes The Wall Street Journal Complete Retirement Book stand out from the competition is its focus on how to plan financially and how to translate dreams into after-retirement reality. It comes from a Wall Street Journal editor whose bi-monthly guide to retirement planning pairs well with a Journal staff reporter expert on the same topic: together they show how to maximize profit and dreams alike, making this a top pick for any public library collection.

This is a great 5-star book

I have just finished reading this book and found it full of great advice and great examples. There are many real world examples from real people who are happy or unhappy with choices they made. I bought this book for the non-financial advice it contains and I am very happy. Every few pages it got my attention with something to think about. The financial advice is fine too; nothing objectionable there. This is an execllent first book about retirement. I would have paid twice the cover price for it.
