A Great Read Mar 27, 2009
By Jason Rubero
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I have been reading a number of financial-type books in the past 6 months and I have found many of them to be dry and lacking perspective. Powell's style of writing coupled with the research made for an insightful, informative read. One other thing I enjoyed about this book was its lack of jargon. The writing was clear and the perspective offered was different than many books I have recently read. I recommend this book for anyone interested in the current economic climate and how it relates to the past (and the future).
Highly Recommended! Jul 13, 2009
By Gerilynn Berg
Tom Powell has written the perfect book for the layperson who really wants to understand the genesis of the current financial crisis, the implications on your life and how to prosper in this tough time (my favorite part!). The book is an interesting and easy read as Tom has included many examples, analogies and relevant stories to educate the reader. As someone who never took an economics course, this book helped me to make sense of the current financial struggle. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for some sage advice about actions to take now to create a positive outcome for the future.
Standing in the Rain: Understanding, surviving and thriving in the worst financial storm since the Great Depression Jul 07, 2009

If you think reading a book about the current financial crisis must be boring and confusing you would be wrong about Standing In The Rain. I actually enjoyed reading this book. Not only that I understood it. Mr. Powell has a tremendous ability to take complex information and make it clear and easy to understand. It would be nice if text books were written in this manner. Beyond the factual information the author shines a light for each business owner and individual to clear a path, move forward and steer your way through this storm.
 Perhaps Our Next Financial Guide?? Jun 19, 2009

Let me be honest...I know Tom so not only am I "rating" his book, which is great, but I'm cluing you in to Tom. I think he might be one of the next important financial minds to follow and pay attention to. Standing In the Rain is just one example. Read it and see for yourself. Who cares about how we got here...it's about how we get out!
Unique State-by-State Analysis (Hardcover version) Jun 14, 2009
By J. Torre
I've read several books on this topic, but this is the only book I've found analyzes how the financial crisis is likely to affect each State in the US. Understanding the crisis at a national level is fine, but what most people need to know is "How is this likely to affect me where I live?". This book first explains the financial crisis on a national level, but then goes into a State-by-State analysis. As someone who owns real estate in five States, this made the book much more useful to me.
