The Best of Buffett-Great Book April 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist by Lowenstein is one of the most delightful books I have ever read. It was difficult to put this book down. If you enjoy an enterprising adventure, you'll love this one. More than investment epic biography; it is an exciting light fun read. There are tidbits of investing genius around every corner. My connection came when I learned how enterprising Warren was even as a young boy and then it gets better and better. Our investment club, also selected this book to study in 2008 and it has been exceeding expectations. It is one of several books I have read on the topic of Warren Buffett and it is by-far-and-away, the best. This is one you will want to keep for your collection and share with your kids, friends and family.
Get In Line For This Buffett AND GET FED!!! February 23, 2008
This is a biography. It talks about his parents, what he was like as a kid and how he got where he is today. It is college level reading, but flows nicely. Specific chapters fill us in in detail about some of the more complex times in his life like the beginnings of Berkshire and being investigated by the SEC.
I've liked the book. I'm not quite done, but it's kept my interest for like 500 pages - and that's not easy (if you knew me).
An All-around Great Book February 13, 2008
This is a fantastic book. It gets you thinking about investing. As you read the story, you become more and more confident in Buffett's ability and more hopeful for yourself. The simple, practical principles that Buffett applies are easily recognized in this straight-forward work. The only problem is containing your excitement. The possibilities for financial success are unlimited. This tells a miraculous story.
A biography well worth the read January 30, 2008

I've only begun following Buffett and this book defines the man. I finished wishing there was readily available supplements to update what has been happening since this book was published. There is quite the amount of info out there. Pulling it together as the author of this book has done would be nice. All that aside, this book alone will make you feel like you have learned what it takes to become a better investor.
Fantastic. January 24, 2008

There is a reason this man is a business icon. Read it, love it, and you will respect Buffet on a whole new level.
