"He is repeating some topics quite often. I would've liked him to tell less about the people he worked with (to much names in this book!) and more about the general ideas, the book would have been quite a bit shorter and an easier read. Nevertheless it was a good read from great entrepreneur. "

    " There is lots of new information to me about Richard Branson, but I wore out after a couple hundred pages of his bragging. Without that, this would have been a much better book because the story of how he developed and grew the business is interesting. But then it wouldn't be Richard Branson, would it? "

    " I liked it. Richard Branson says a lot of what I think, the main difference being that he is a successful business owner, and I am a zilch. This man is what Steve Jobs should've aspired to be. "
