Nice, precise book on things to pick up from Warren Buffet. This acts as a good summary to his biography, however, I prefer the biography itself to this book.
Having said that, would highly recommend this book for a quick read and motivation.

Gist of his life
I Did not find the title justifying the content or the other way.
This excerpt briefly shows various events of Mr Buffett's life. I think if we go through the highlighted portions in the kindle version, that is sufficient. Some phrases and passages were worth noting and implementing.
This is more of a news paper article which can be finished under 60mins and is also very useful. I rate 3 stars for the few highlighted portions.

This is a great interesting book. The newness doesn't dry until the end. That may be I am reading this stuff for the first time. But another thought it brought in me now and then is there is lot of going together between him and our Tamil classic Thirukkural.

Good Read!
It's quite true that one needs to be really obsessed and passionate about what one does and if lucky one can always achieve the end objectives as defined in the beginning of the journey!

Good one and average one
An average read. His take on life and business. The decisions he made, the risk he took. Concise and nicely written. A quick read. But I did not find the title justifying the content or the other way.
When i look at the book name warren buffett, made me more curious and excited to read it immediately and after 40 to 45 minutes, I finished. When i started reading i was highly encouraged but when i completed half reading, i did not find any interesting stories inspired from financial giant's life as he must have so many good or bad events in his personal and professional life. I haven't seen anything except numbers, number crunching, score or stock market inside the book.
Story of Warren's marriage was not even narrated in clear manner and author straightaway wrote about the death about his wife.

This was a good short book about Warren Buffett's success as a business owner and investor. The book gave me a small perspective of his life with several great quotes to remember for my life, work and family.
I was disappointed though with quite a few grammatical and spelling errors throughout the book and wonder why the book wasn't proofread better before publishing, even as an ebook. The author should do better to make sure spelling and grammar are correct before publishing and if it is possible, review his past published books and correct any grammar and spelling errors.

This book is not particularly about investing. It talks about the general lessons that Buffet learnt in his life and the principles that make him successful as investor. Author asserts that these lessons apply to all walks of life, personal as well as professional.
I liked the concise nature of the book. The message is brief and simple. Quoting from book - "You only have to do a very few things right in your life as long as you don't do too many things wrong".

The book as promised in its introduction has given only a bird's eye view on Buffet, on his primary interests, on his cardinal principle that he followed before investing in a company and what he has planned to do with his enormous wealth etc.No other details on his personal life.Within its limited scope, I think the book has justified its purpose of creation.

Just the summation of wikipedia page and several other websites
I was expecting a more detailed biography, as I have read from Wikipedia page and other websites...this book did not add much. He (writer) did not research in depth .....No wonder he has a also published a book called "how to publish a book in 30 days".

Interesting , I finished it in one go.
Clearly mentioned success mantras of Warren Buffet's life which you can learn and apply them in your own life.
In this book you will read all about his achievements. What i dislike about this book is you don't get learn much about his struggle and failures in detail.

Brief and Upto the Point
As the title suggests, This book gives a brief insight of the life and challenges faced by Buffett.
Thoughts are well crafted and composed with meaningful messages throughout this book. Chapters are well categoriesed and the whole narration is clearly connected!

Nice easy read some great insights into Buffett.
It had wide coverage of content but not too much details. Very generic in nature.
Good book overall to get a glimpse of Warren Buffett.

A very quick, largely inspirational and moderately informative read. The kindle version was riddled this typos and grammatical errors, which I felt lessened the integrity of the book's message.
I would not read this again, but I am glad I read it.

Its a nice book
I consider this book a short precise and adept business lesson by Warren and his life . Shorter version gives ample idea into how his life has been and how he will shape

Good book. But too short completed in almost 2 hours writer could have covered some points in detail overall good read if you want to know about Warren Buffett in short. But after reading this I'm definitely going to read his biograph.
