Review: Great concept - Poorly executed

I love books about saving, debt and making money - I've got a bookcase full of them - so I looked forward to reading this. I really like reading personal stories filled with details of how people climb out of debt.  But I didn't find that in this book. It was very disappointing and a real struggle to get through.The authors compiled info from various personal finance blogs and submitted their "questions" to the bloggers. This meant paging through the authors' sophomoric writing as quickly as possible to get to the "interviews".  Those - what should be the meat of the book - were more often than not very brief but at least in several cases better written than the portions written by the book's authors.But even the interviews were a total letdown.  The authors appear to have framed the questions to the various personal finance bloggers in terms of their categories such as your "fatal flaw" or your "superpower" rather than probing for more fully fleshed out details and stories about the subject's debt payoff journey. In fact, the section in the interviews about paying off debt is usually simply a short quote from the subject's blog and a link.My advice?  To save money - don't buy the book and instead head online to read some personal finance and debt payoff blogs - you'll learn more, get more inspiration, AND you'll save money.Two stars for effort but a one-star reading experience.
