Warren Buffett. The official biography, the snowball effect (Paperback)

Customer Review

I waited this long biography ... I put 5 stars just for the titanic work of Alice Schroeder, biography of 951 pages that we describe in great detail the life of Warren Buffett both personal and professional, that combines descriptions Buffett quotes that provide real added value.

I do want to highlight some flaws of this book:
1) The number of spelling mistakes and typing frieze fifties which is still uncomfortable in the long run, I forgive as Valor is a small publishing house but they would still have paid a reviewer.
2) The book is 951 pages, 951 pages it's a good kilogram not more, in other words the book is intransportable almost impossible to read by going to work or in bed before falling asleep otherwise it falls on the head you in a little bit tired (I speak knowingly).
3) The book is quite interested in the personal life of Buffett. I think the author dwells too much on it from time to time. This is also why the book is so long ... It is interesting to complete this work by the book "W. Buffett Portfolio" (Valor edition) HAGSTROM of the point of view of investment.
For the impatient among you who do not have time to read more than 900 pages I recommend "W.Buffett: The Making of an American capitalist" to LOWENSTEIN is a brilliant and much shorter book (350 pages unfortunately only available in English).

I hope you enjoy reading and planning a good week vacation to read because reading a spreading bio on a wider time interval is unpleasant since we tend to forget the early life of the individual and the unity of the book then disappears ...
