[Duane · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you're interested in Dave Thomas or the restaurant business in general, this is a great book for you. Dave always wanted to be the best in the business and you'll find out he was always striving for perfection. This book does a nice job of not only showing Dave's successess, but his faults too (like not being the greatest father). A nice read but I wish there had been more photographs of Dave. It seemed as most of the photgraphs were general ones that the author only used to relate to the topic.
