I liked this book more than I expected! It's slow, but the author does a great job describing what makes the Oracle of Omaha so special. The subtitle says it all: Managing capital, leading people.Buffett has a better mentality of business. He looks for the longterm. His two "guarantee" companies are Coca Cola and Gillette. People will always drink coke and need to shave. He asks his acquired businesses that they use as much capital as needed to function at capacity and send him the rest. He allo...

A different kind of Buffett biography, published in 2002, hence talks about the real Berkshire before the mammoth acquisitions made all the prior gems look, well, small.Talks about the philosophy, the management abilities, Buffett's follies, his difficulties with the late 90s and a lot of small stories, most of which would be known to Buffett fans - but the book is rather different in its treatment of Buffett.Get it. Read it slowly.
I learned a lot. . . 5 stars!
I expected more from that book. It contains a lot of information from different sources.
