 What A Dud!!! May 4, 2008
Okay, so Matthew Lesko has the selling ability on his infomercials, but there's nothing to this book, if you don't get it immediately after it comes out from the publisher. He's got a disclaimer right in the front of the book that all the information in the book is outdated by the time it's published.
It may not be his fault as I've written about 100 different agencies and organizations looking for money along with information just for information for anything from vehicle seizures to government giveaways.
Out of all of those wasted man-hours, letters, and stamps I got 4 or 5 actual responses,...the rest came back "no such address" or "no such person, business" etc. Granted (pun intended) I was looking mostly for free government money for businesses among other stuff but this shouldn't be impossible to do.
I've heard from various sources that these Government office's tend to close up and move every six to nine months, so they don't have to give the citizens "free-money" so like I said I don't blame Matthew Lesko for that bit as it's nigh on impossible to chase a "running papertrail" unless you've already got money and know your way around Washington DC.
My organization is listed in the book... February 14, 2007

I work for an organization listed in the book, and we do not distribute "Free Money". We provide small business loans at a rate between a mortgage and a credit card, and I honestly feel bad for the people who contact me because they found me in this book.
If you're looking for resources for a small business, there are plenty of names you can get without spending whatever this book costs. [...]
This book must provide incomplete information, given that 90% of the inqueries I receive do not qualify due to location. As a neighborhood based group in an north-east inner city, we focus on our neighborhood and do not lend outside of city limits, let alone Tennessee.
Save your money. Please do not buy this book. It will only make you look foolish to those you tell about it.
 Good book but a bit unrealistic.....You need a better book! February 9, 2007

As a successful grant writer I know how hard it is to get into the spirit of writing a good document. I'd highly suggest getting books that are more realistic like "Government Funding and You" or the "Grant Workbook". Both of these books walk you through realistic scenarios to get grants and they simply aren't hype books like this one!

This book was absolutely NO HELP at all. It's mainly about getting grants from the government and you have to be within a certain income bracket to do so. If you're middle class, FORGET IT! :(

This book has a tremendous amount of information on how to obtain money and it could possibly change your life. However a lot of the programs or information are state specific or in a special category, meaning not all programs are available to every state or to every individual for that matter. If you can find a program that you fit into and it works then great! Otherwise this book gives you other options about different things you can do to obtain "Free Money to Change Your Life" including possibly moving to another state or changing your profession.
