Book Reviews of The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life
Book Review: "The not -simple man of simple tastes"
Summary: 4 Stars
Alice Schroeder condenses 820 pages into the wonderfully short, intriguing paragraph:
"Warren Buffett, the not -simple man of simple tastes, now had the simple life of the man that he had always believed himself to be. He had one wife, drove one car, occupied one house that hadn't been decorated in years, ran one business, and spent more and more time with his family."
I loved the biography ( ALL 838 pages ) & would have easily given it 5 stars, if it hadn't been for the sheer PHYSICAL weight of the tome.
Not recommended for dainty wrists!
