In
this book we can meet absolutely different types of people: poor and
rich, mean and generous, arrogant and benevolent, some of them are
deeply silly, envious, cowardly, while the others are exceptionally
intelligent, broadminded, cheerful, amiable, and sensible.
This
book excellently reveals the topic which is connected with money. The
Citadel shows how people can be dangerously obsessed with money and
possession, and that they are even bloody eager to sacrifice other
people’s lives to get money... In their avidity for money, they are
absolutely blind to see other people’s needs and never want to leave
their comfort zone. In
my opinion, this book will always be of a great success while money is
of a great value and only true passion and concern to people in our
world . I am sure everyone with a great heart and profound mind will
like this book .
