In a comment posted on yesterday’s blog (“Real Estate Gurus”) the writer rightly pointed out that John T. Reed receives a lot of criticism. It’s true that Reed may not provide a balanced review of some gurus. Sometimes he may have an ax to grind, and he can be strident, blunt and arrogant.
Many people saw his attack on Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” as over the top. “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” is not my favorite book, but Reed was using a cannon to swat a fly in his book review.
To provide some insight into what the critics say of John T. Reed, I post this link to a review of Reed’s new book by Aaron Wall of SEO Books. The comments following the review go into even more detail about the criticisms that are made about Reed.
While Reed can be opinionated and harsh, most of his guru evaluations seem to hit the mark. He is the only person on the web that provides this kind of information, and maybe it takes a guy with a thick-skinned confrontational personality to dig out the information he comes up with. Some of these gurus do lie, cheat people out of money, and use questionable hard-sell tactics. They’re no saints either. It would be nice if Reed could evaluate them without such a hard edge, but where else can the average person turn to for this kind of information?
