Summary: From Riches to Riches
Comment: Not living in the UK, I actually hadn't seen the programme and the book was a christmas gift. It's an easy read telling some good stories - and let's face it, who doesn't like a good story? I found the dragons' backgrounds very interesting and some of their values very close to mine. Lots of ideas in there for the budding entrepreneur. Would I actually go on the show with my own ideas - I'm not so sure. Would I contact certain dragons with a solid business proposition - I hope so.

Summary: Educational?
Comment: This book probably is good in its content but unfortunately you soon realise that it is riddled with spelling errors and mistakes! Maybe its me being picky but surely when you spend £10 on a book you should expect the basics to be right. I lost count of how many spelling mistakes there were which suggests it was written and put together rather hastily.
This just serves to annoy the reader from start to finish.

Summary: Good but short
Comment: This is intresting however large font and information repeated mean that you don't get a massive amount of information from this book. However the advice and background on the Dragon's is intresting. Ewan's econimics section is very good and if you like the TV program then you should like this book.

Summary: Applied Language Solutions, "The one that got away"
Comment: After reading the new Dragons Den book, I thought that like the programme it was extremely enjoyable. After watching the series, I was really interested in finding out more about the entrepreneurs and what happened next and the book helped me do exactly that.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find a whole chapter dedicated to the company I work for, Applied Language Solutions and its founder, Gavin Wheeldon. The Dragons chose not to invest in Gavin's translation company but yet we have proved to be one of the most successful companies to appear before the dragons so far, "The one that got away." I thought it was commendable of the dragons to include both their successes and the investment opportunities they missed. It made the book a more interesting and believable read.
I would definitely recommend this book. If you are a fan of the programme or looking for tips on how to be the next Duncan Bannatyne this is the book for you.

Summary: LINGsCARS in DD Book! Hey, read about me! - Ling
Comment: Well, I have just received my pre-launch copy of this book. What a book! I have just re-read the whole thing again. Apart from the fact that I am the subject of one chapter (entirely accurate BBC content and perfect research about LINGsCARS.com, I must say - I have no quibbles with anything written about me), this whole book brilliantly inspires you and me with more ideas about being successful in business.
I really enjoyed my time on Dragons' Den and my business has more than doubled, since I went on the programme. It's a shame I haven't had the chance of first-hand advice from Richard Farleigh and Duncan Bannatyne since the show, but reading this book nearly makes up for that.
While I was in the BBC Dragons' Den warehouse filming, these two Dragons (Richard and Duncan) gave me more ideas about improvements to my contract hire and leasing, new car sales business. They suggested cross-selling insurance. I took them up on it and now earn over £1000 a month in referral commission purely from their idea. Thanks to these two Dragons! Many more ideas like this are contained in this book.
As an immigrant to the UK from China, I wish I had read a book like this 10 years ago! I would say - just buy it and read it again and again, especially at the discounted Amazon price. If anyone wants to contact me, anything @lingscars.com works.
