1 Not suitable for the average consumer
The author is obviously very well-versed in his subject, as he is a fee-only insurance counselor, and I bet he does a good job. However the level of technical jargon in this 30 page e-book is mind-numbing for the average person who is looking for some help selecting which life insurance policy to buy. In addition, he goes into excessive detail about issues only an agent would care about regarding insurance industry issues.
At the end of the book he states that the level of complexity of the information in the book clearly shows why it is important to get a good agent to help you through the maze. I think this item is better directed at insurance professionals only, not the average consumer.
