Industry Reviews
"[T]he most nuanced portrait of Buffett to date....The writing is lively and mostly understated...."
(10/05/2008)

"Mr. Buffett made a smart choice when he chose Alice Schroeder as his Boswell. Yes, he found an appreciative biographer with whom he seems to have a warm rapport. But he also found a writer able to keep pace with the wild swerves in the Buffett story and the intricacies of Mr. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway business empire. Ms. Schroeder is as insightful about her subject's precise anticipation of current financial crises as she is about his quirky personal story. And she is a clear explicator of fiscal issues. This sprawling, colorful biography will mesmerize anyone interested in who Mr. Buffett is or how he got that way....Fascinating."

    I bought the book for my son, who is justifiably fascinated with Warren Buffet. When I picked up the book myself, I found a fabulous story of a true American success, tracing his first attempts at sales as a youngster to his new life as a philanthropist. The book is filled with his philosophy and work ethic. He is a great role model for my children or for anyone interested in a business career.
