“I truly enjoyed listening to the 30 CDs, a daunting task. I learned a great deal from the grand investor. You really don't need to a be a business guru to enjoy this book. It gives great insight into the personal life of Mr.Buffet. The author did a good job on background and you really felt you were there. I am now a fan of Warren Buffett.”

“An amazing insight into one of the World's richest men. It took me until mid-way through this long book to really get into it but then I couldn't put it down. It is packed full of information on Warren Buffet's personal philosphy and approach to investing, all bundled up with the entertaining story of his life. ”

Yes | No“An authorized biography of Warren Buffet that probably will be the reference work on him for quite awhile. From my grandma for Christmas, I jumped into soon after I received it. I did not find it difficult to continue through the lengthy book.

It is apparent the almost single-minded focus Buffet had on making money. I do not find this inconsistent with his public image as a caring, socially responsible person because I believe these two motivations are not often in conflict when a person has a long-term time horizon. Buffet was an entrepreneur from the get go and had much experience as an entrepreneur by the time he launched his investment fund.”
