Jack Hungelmann
1 Invaluable Insurance Tutorial
We bought this book well after we bought a home and cars, but just after buying umbrella insurance. We wish we had had it all along. Jack Hungelmann did a wonderful, thorough job in the daunting task of educating naive "dummies" like us who never did learn how the insurance pieces fit together and who never fully grasped the importance of protecting one's assets and future. Mr. Hungelmann obviously cares about his reading audience and wants us to learn how to protect ourselves. We grew up a little after finishing the book and attempting to correct some major gaps we had in our current coverages; these would have remained unrealized but potential financial disasters for us without Mr. Hungelmann's clarity.
2 Lacks Depth in Homeowners Insurance Discussion
I was looking for a book that discussed IN DETAIL homeowners insurance, and I didn't find it in thisone.
Claims, how to appeal a denied claim, mold, how to avoid being under-insured and/or cancelled--these subjects are ignored, even though they're important to me and most people I know.
This book is a WASTE OF MONEY if what you're looking for is in-depth info on homeowners insurance.
3 Not a Whole Lot on Homeowners Insurance
I bought the book thinking that I'd be getting detailed information about homeowners insurance but the author merely glosses over the subject matter.
I think he's an agent and, as such, doesn't have that much experience when it comes to the information I need, such as claims (particularly mold since I was just cancelled as a result of filing a mold claim), how to interpret specific policy language, etc.
4 Invaluable resource and reference
This title is well worth getting if you're thinking of purchasing new coverage or if it's been a long time since you've reviewed your current coverage. There's a lot more to insurance than most realize, and this book can help make things a lot clearer, save you money, and prevent nasty surprises down the road. Note that this Canadian edition appears to be identical to the American one in all respects.

6 Insurance for Dummies
I have been in the insurance business for 31 years. I found this book to be every helpful. Jack has taken a complex subucet ( insurance ) and explains it in simple terms. I have shared this book with other professionals and they are as delighted as I am. I now use some those examples in my own practice to explain things to my clients. It is worth the time to reading. .
7 Great book, very imformative.
I bought this book because I was sick of just signing my insurance contracts. The author explained clearly the different types of insurance and made recommendations you can follow to save you time and money. This book was well worth the price since I have saved so much in insurance. This is also a must have for those of us that own rental properties.
8 Great resource!
This is a must have for young families, professionals, and really everyone who has their own residence. Through this book I found out my "sueability" and really restructured my entire insurance plan. Most people won't believe how grossly underinsured they are!
9 This author actually make insurance interesting!!!
I didn't think it was possible, but Jack Hungelmann made reading about insurance actually interesting. I cannot tell you how much money and time I have saved just by taking a few minutes here and there to look up specific topics in this book. It is really well-written, covers an incredible broad range of topics, and has a lot of funny and real-life stories which capture the topics. I will also continue to find it very helpful as a reference to refer to as new insurance issues come up. Trust me, this is the insurance book to buy and trust!

11 Really thorough, but lacks an edge
Knowledgeable, really knowledgeable.
12 Great overview of all important insurance matters
This book is a great comprehensive overview of all the important insurance matters one needs to be aware of in today's life in America. Too many young people like myself aren't aware of how underinsured (and therefore financially exposed) they are in the face of life's various perils until something terrible happens. This book does an excellent job at explaining in simple terms all the key facts and questions one needs to know and ask in order to get adequate protection.
