Summary
Since its hardcover publication in August of 1995, Buffett has appeared on the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Seattle Times, Newsday and Business Week bestseller lists. The incredible landmark portrait of Warren Buffett's uniquely American life is now available in paperback, revised and updated by the author. Starting from scratch, simply by picking stocks and companies for investment, Warren Buffett amassed one of the epochal fortunes of the twentieth century--an astounding net worth of $10 billion, and counting. His awesome investment record has made him a cult figure popularly known for his seeming contradictions: a billionaire who has a modest lifestyle, a phenomenally successful investor who eschews the revolving-door trading of modern Wall Street, a brilliant dealmaker who cultivates a homespun aura. Journalist Roger Lowenstein draws on three years of unprecedented access to Buffett's family, friends, and colleagues to provide the first definitive, inside account of the life and career of this American original. Buffett explains Buffett's' investment strategy--a long-term philosophy grounded in buying stock in companies that are undervalued on the market and hanging on until their worth invariably surfaces--and shows how it is a reflection of his inner self.

Outstanding and enlightening, this biography reveals the influences and successes of Mr.Buffett. His life has not been an easy one and his dedication to his investment principles is admirable. Reading about his experiences will affect my investment decisions. Anybody who has an interest in the development of Buffett's career should read this book. I would enjoy a new edition that covers his endeavors in 21st century.

Tonic for the spirit--Buffet's story and philosophy, as well as the narration.

William Shakespeare said "neither a lender or borrower be", he could have been talking about Buffett.
