" This was a very well written book providing a great picture of Buffett. A very good look at his life, how he worked as well as his values. "

" I really liked this one - I think Warren Buffet is fascinating anyway, but the author didn't shy away from pointing out his eccentricities and the tradeoffs he made in the life he chose even as she clearly got his cooperation and he contributed thoughts to several sections of the books. It reconfirmed much of what I knew but also taught me a lot about situations I did not know before. A really enjoyable read from my perspective. "

" Once I heard this book was out, I was excited. Warren Buffett is an interesting person and I admire him for his skills in making so much money. However, the book was very long. I enjoyed some of the person accounts I received from the many stories through out the book. It was a little over-bearing for a biography. I guess I was looking for some secret to making billions and all I got was how normal Warren is in everyday life. I found the book rather boring. "

" Absolutely wonderful history of, arguably, the greatest investor of our time. The man is a genius, but this book shows so much more than his investing strategies. The author paints a picture of Buffett as a person as well. Its a lengthy read, but I highly recommend it. "

" After I read this book I swear, Baby Berk stock was issued to help fund the purchase of a railroad. I owned about 10 stocks in the railroad and it was converted into Baby Berks. I still have them and will keep them. Warren Buffett rocks! "

" Alice Schroeder sets the best tone in both her writing tone and her ideas arrangement. She is never a boring writer and in this book, she transforms a biography meant to be about figures and numbers to an unforgettable story. "

" I am absolutely loving this biography of my favorite Billionaire Warren. 900pages long but a fascinating story "

Rhea | 4/16/2013
" Loved this book - raced through it like it was fiction. Writer understands the financial world in great depth but knows how to communicate it to the layperson. Meticulously researched. An open door into Buffet's personal life. A Must read! "

" As a long-time Warren Buffett fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Buffett's eccentricity fascinated me and I enjoyed reading of his interesting life. At times, I did find some of the in-depth economic explanations a bit dry, but found I could skim them quickly and not miss any significant content. "

" Interesting to see what drives a simple boy from Omaha to become the richest man in the world. Yet Warren Buffet still prefers hamburger to gourmet food, drives a 7 yr old car, and has suffered from social anxiety. "

Tobias | 1/9/2012
" This was an enjoyable read about the life of one of the most legendary men thanks to his immense sagacity in finance & eventual philanthropic endeavours. Although this was meant to be a life story it does contain a lot of fluff and could have been shorter & sweeter. A good read none the less! "

" Bio of The Man from Omaha "
-




Adrian | 7/10/2011
" Interesting biography about Warren Buffett. Neat to see what makes the "Oracle of Omaha" tick. Although it was interesting, it went on and on and on - for the last 1/3 or so I just felt like I was just slogging through to finish, and it became more and more like a chore. "

" Fascinating (but really long) story of Warren Buffett's life, his family and his rise to become one of the richest men in the world. He exemplifies what Gladwell wrote about in Outliers.
