Critic Reviews:
"An epic account of the greatest capital accumulator in history." (The Times)
"An absorbing read ... The Warren Buffett who emerges from these pages is unorthodox, honest, gifted and, in many ways, admirable. In the business of life, however, one suspects that this complex man has rather a lot of debits, as well as credits, on his personal balance sheet." (Observer)
"A monumental work ... you feel like you've been in the presence of a monumentally flawed but riveting character ... utterly compelling." (Evening Standard)
"A well-written, forensically researched and sensitive insight into the Midas of our times." (Spectator)
"Buffett has been ahead of the curve for most of the past fifty years, making him one of the world's richest people. The Snowball provides clues about how he's done it." (Financial Times)
Members Reviews:
Great insight into a public figure
The book gives much insight into the life as well as some of the aspects of the business life of Warren Buffett. It shows his very flawed life, his tumultuous relationship with his wife. He may be rich, but there are many aspects of his life many would never trade for his wealth. If you liked Steve Jobs Official biography, you will very much like this as well.The story of how he started getting involved in investing, is inspiring, and perhaps much good ideas can be used to develop our children in developing a sensible mindset. A candid review of his life. An entertaining read. You will end up having much sympathy and praise for Buffett after this read, and perhaps a better love of your own life.
Only for die-hard Buffet fans.
I've no doubt that the book is a well researched and reasonably accurate description of Warren Buffet's life, but ultimately it failed to entertain me and doesn't have sufficient detail to illuminate that much of the method behind his investment choices.
At least this version is mercifully abridged from the enormous length of the book upon which it's based. Only for die-hard Buffet fans.
Pretty decent, performed reasonably
A quite interesting story, performed reasonably well. As with a lot of biographies, it's a little sycophantic, only really touching on tragedy towards the end. Average amount of detail regarding the different large details he put in over time. More interesting however, if you're into finance or business.
Amazing a must read or listen on Audio
Absolutely loved it, very inspiring and educational. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested into stocks.
Fascinating man.
wise words never fades.This is the biography of the snowball accumulating wealth and wisdom. Fantastic biography.
