Book Reviews of The Wall Street Journal. Complete Retirement Guidebook: How to Plan It, Live It and Enjoy It

Book Review: Didn't read it, but saw that all neg reviews done on same two days!
Summary: 5 Stars

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.
