Writing style is clear and engaging, with plenty of backstory provided to help the reader understand how Berkshire Hathaway became what it is today, and what misconceptions are often made regarding the company and the investing habits of Munger and Buffet.
Not at all like a dry historical record found in a dusty textbook - more similar to an interesting novel.
A word of caution, repeated from the introduction of the book though - it isn't an "hold your hand" "follow these steps" instruction manual. Instead, the book covers principles of value investing, taken from shareholder meetings and other interactions the authors had with Munger and Buffet over the course of thirty years. In other words, it is up to the reader to understand and implement the lessons described.
Overall a surprisingly enjoyable and highly informative book.
