Customer Reviews

Buffett in Manga form
Buffett 101 in Manga form - this illustrated novel is a great 45 minute overview of the Oracle of Omaha. It covers the highlights of his life in a factual and humorous format: How he started in business as a child, his mentor/student relationship with Graham, his additions to Graham's style, and his ongoing trials and tribulations in the market.

This is a great overview book, but just that. Expect to hit the high points, but not a lot of depth. (You need more words and less pictures for that!) Perhaps the greatest use of the book is a gift for Buffettologists to help explain their mania to the unitiated.

Enjoy!

Warren Buffett: An Illustrated Biography of the World's Most Successful Investor
Easy read. Most investors reviews said, must have. I do not agree. It was cute and gives you some insight of how Warren B got started in life and some of his major moves. Other than that, not some huge MOTIVATION or source of information on investing. Really, just insight on how Buffett started out.

An Easy Read, not for the Humor-Impaired.
I bought multiple copies of this book for my clients, and they all loved it! Not only is it easy to read, it covers alot of interesting areas like:

* Buffett's WPO delivery antics
* The GEICO interview
* Saving Salomon
* Charlie Munger Partnership

ps. Charlie Munger looks better as Manga Charlie.
