 This book is a masterpiece. March 11, 2010
William J. Valente (USA)
Having read and loved Greene's previous books I must say that I was pleasantly surprised that this turns out to be his "best" work, in my opinion. For those who are familiar with his material he does the same analysis with references to historical examples, but with the added spice of that the book is about superstar "50 cent" living in the "hood". It is fascinating to get this inside view and Robert Greene does not fail to present a world that is highly dangerous, but full of potential.
The way he incorporates the essence of these laws in better than anything I have ever seen in a writer. His style is very distinctive and he does a good job providing valuable insights into the human condition and how we can apply timeless laws to defeat our deficiencies. I love this book and I think it can apply to all who are open minded, strategic in their thinking, and want that extra edge. The information is neutral. What you do with it that is of your choosing. Choose wise.
50th law is life March 1, 2010
M. Dennis (Greater Maryland)
I purchased this about a week ago and I find this book a very good read for everyday life. It hits on all notes especially if you are in business and dealing with people. I got the first book which is all you need but I did not finish that book. This was easier because it is straight to the point and so it was like fresh air for me. Any how I recommend this to anyone who needs the run down on reality like myself.
 Good but not great... February 23, 2010

Compared to all of Greene's books, this and Strategies of War were the least compelling in my eyes. This is the shortest and most "simple" if you will, focusing on fears (or lack thereof). I am a hip-hop fan, so there was intrigue being that 50 was involved (though I never particularly cared for him). I was going to buy this book based on Greene's involvement regardless. I hear Greene's next book is a doozy, so I eagerly await that. The 50th Law is only so-so, but for Greene fans (or hip hop fans) still probably essential reading.
The 50th Law is a Must-Read for Youth February 8, 2010
Emily Dale (Franklin, NC USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great little book that shows how one very disadvantaged young man overcame fear and turned his back on a potentially brief life of drug pushing to become a successful rapper and music business entrepreneur.
As an 84 year-old great-grandmother who picked the book at my local public library, I found it inspirational in understanding how to reach youth who do drugs to be "one of the guys". I ordered copies for three grandsons, two of whom have had drug problems and the other, alcohol. In this they can see how they have caved in to fear of not belonging, and how, by becoming fearless, they can achieve success in the world.
A VERY GREAT COMBINATION February 8, 2010
Ayodele Cuffy (Trinidad)
The amazingly, clever and street hustler combining knowledgeable forces with one of the greatest writers of time, to create a book that is nothing less than POWER. Discovering the tactics and strategies developed by 50 cent and see how he applies it to the music industry shows how smart a person must be in this ever changing economic world.
With Robert Greene applying his knowledge to complete the master piece that is the "50th law" I have come to realize that this book expels greatness and power with ever letter, with every word and with every sentence.
This was a great buy, I'm glad it wasn't expensive and the design of the book with really amazing. As the book resembles a Bible with its leather covering and gold edged pages. Right now I'm entering Chapter 8 and simply intrigued with every chapter.
