Free Money "They" Don't Want You To Know About 1st Version edition by Kevin Trudeau (2009) Hardcover

As I search the internet, I have seen many opinions about this book. They seem to be either Naysayers or Promoters. I'm writing this to curb that dynamic. I'm an objective reviewer. I will share the facts and my experience in dealing with Kevin Trudeau's products, including Free Money. I will explain the PROS, the CONS as a basis for my final conclusion. Once you read this, you should be able to decide for yourself if this book is for you. This review assumes you've seen the infomercial or been exposed to some other sales pitch about this book. Important Note: I have purchased Free Money. I'm in the process of reading it. THE CONS: When I was young, I had my Dad purchase Kevin's MEGA Speed Reading. It was 10 or 12 tapes of ineffective blubbering. It was a total waste of time and money. We sent back Mega Speed Reading and got our money back (less shipping). Kevin does have a way of being extremely inflammatory in his commentary. Saying things like "THEY don't want you to know about." I do think his "They're all out to get me" routine is pure drama to interest you in what he's saying so he can sell more books and monthly newsletters. I wouldn't be surprised if all the naysayers weren't paid employees of Kevin to help keep the drama alive. If you read the negative reviews it appears to be the same style of writing and complaints under different screen names. Yes, the information in his books can be found through other cheaper or free venues. No, this is not the public service Kevin claims it to be. THE PROS: Conspiracy theories aside, I have noticed that the naysayers never say anything specific. "It's garbage!" and "Kevin's a con man!" and "Customer Service Stinks!" are the crux of they're complaints. The lack of specificity is a positive indicator. Kevin's trustworthiness and CS dept is irrelevant to the contents of his products. Whether he's the 2nd coming of Christ or the son of the Devil, the information in the book is useful. Once you read past the "They're evil" opinion section of his books, the information is valid. Furthermore, you're not paying for a random Google search. You're paying for well compiled data and easy-to-follow instructions. Saying "The information is 'out there' for free." misunderstands why someone would purchase his book. The data in his books is well compiled and his instructions easy to follow. I have used 10 Trudeau products (from Mega Memory to Free Money) and a sales training series he produced. When I applied his techniques, I gained positive results excepting Mega Speed Reading. In my case, it's mostly wins and 1 loss. In general, Kevin's products have an "I'll inform you. Now you do it yourself." edge to them. I would NOT recommend them to people who are not self-starters. Free Money is informationally valid because I do have Missing Money waiting for me. However, I have yet to mail the forms and ergo receive the money. CONCLUSION: Now that you've heard the bad and the good, since we're dis

Kevin continues to give straight up facts. He is a no nonsense guy. In his books, the exact details can be found and he forwards you to the resources, if he cannot elaborate on the pointers. Like most of his other books, Kevin Trudeau presents reliable resources and research data to confirm his findings. I get everybook he writes,except for the quit smoking and alcoholism books since I do not smoke or drink. However, I refer customers and friends to get his books...Way to go Kevin!

Don't be mislead by the negative reviews they had something bad to say but it didn't seem that they even bought the book. I havent actually read this book but I have read others and they are all great and he gives valuable information and is trying to help many people.

Anybody typing negative reviews are just probably government agents trying to keep the truth from the public.because all they care about is money and ripping people off they dont give a crap about the general public and I can guarantee you that kevin does by having read all of his books he is an awesome person trying to help out this world from the evil government dont take it personal government.

This book is a NO BRAINER. Concise, easy to follow instructions on how to (a) get any unclaimed property you are entitled to claim from states you may have worked in (when I went to the missingmoney.com website available in NJ, 32 days later I received a check for [...]from 3 different jobs I had - 2 of which were from when I was under 23) that made the investment in this book pay off just from that; (b) the CONDENSED skinny on how to obtain grants, whereby he recommends 2 government websites for PUBLIC grants, actually guide you to those which you should apply for after about 15 minutes of entering information. He essentially puts goofy Matt Leskow to shame - there is NO NEED for gargantuan books that I know I would be too intimidated to even attempt to just randomly read 700 pages trying to see if there were grants for me. Well, I have just started the Public Grant application process, and whether I do or don't qualify for one, there is no time wasted with the procedures and web sites he suggests utilizing, so while I believe I will qualify for at least one or two (you'd be amazed at how many anyone qualifies for), I won't have wasted much time at all if I were not to succeed. I just don't get the other 2 reviews. Did they do what Kevin says? This is not rocket science. It's not mere information. It's info he carries into action. I'm a complicated guy and Mr. Trudeau dumbs it down for me. As an attorney with an MBA, all that education means nothing with regards to making money (that you don't pay back) without someone showing me with a simple set of instructions how to do so. Well, [...]for a book I made to date [...] on ain't too shabby. My parents, struggling through retirement as the economy has hurt most of us to some degree, received [...]through reclamation of unclaimed property in 2 states at a time when they really need it. I don't care that Kevin Trudeau had legal problems. Everyone on this planet has problems. I'm a solution guy. If you don't see how simple it is to gain some financial resources by following simple instructions, then you obviously have a proclivity for living in your problems rather than the solution. EXCELLENT BOOK THAT YIELDED THIS REVIEWER AND HIS FAMILY CASH WE NEVER WOULD HAVE BOTHERED LOOKING FOR BUT FOR THIS EASY TO READ TREASURE CHEST.
