The stars of 'Dragon's Den' - Duncan Bannatyne, Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Richard Farleigh and Theo Paphitis, along with economics expert and presenter, Evan Davies - divulge the secrets of their success.
I am a huge fan of Dragon's Den and wanted to know more about the show and the Dragon's so I couldn't resist getting this book. It was a good read and I read it pretty quickly. Each Dragon provides insight into the show and how businesses are run - as well as looking at some successes and failures. However, it could do with a major edit. There were a lot of spelling and grammar issues. Overall, it was a good read and allowed me to learn more about the Dragons and the show.
it was very entertaining especially the biographical featrues of the first half but reading this it got more and more repetitiave,entranpanuers are super human, in thier ambition etc, the mantra of capitalism etc. sometimes reading it it got to be no more than shameless publicity/propoganda for the tv show and business in general. it was entertaining and helpful if you are a fan of the show. personally aside from the biographical section in the first half it was a bit tiring especially the pitches, which only work if you see it on tv not on text!
The Dragons were so smug, and belabored the obvious so much that I could only read a few pages at a time. The case studies were the only interesting part.
