As far as the storytelling aspect of this book, I must say that I glossed over the first 20 pages, as it really didn't have anything to do with the rest of the book, and by the end of the book, I had already figured out who the character was supposed to have been, so the ending wasn't a surprise, either. Despite only being 20 pages, I almost lost interest in the whole book, which is only 119 pages. The intro only needed to be about 5 pages.
That said, the messages in this book is not supposed to be deciphered. The middle section of the book lays the lessons out clearly. Whether anybody agrees or disagrees with the religious aspect of the book, there shouldn't be an argument about the basic principles about money management.
This book is obvioulsy a take on The Richest Man in Babylon, as the character, Andy, reads a translation of "lost scrolls" which teach the reader about money management and wealth accumulation. For people who read basic personal money management books, there is nothing new; its the standard save more than you spend, save 10%, pay yourself first, etc.
That said, every once in a while, all of us should review, periodically, personal finance strategies, and being short and concise, this book just does that effectively, so we don't have to read the same books over and over.
