It's Warren Buffett - come on now. If you plan on investing at any level, then you've just got to know something about this man and his way of investing. If you're looking for a quick and to the point version, then I would probably recommend this book. If you're looking for the long and more biographical version, then I would recommend "The Snowball". Some of his decisions will make more sense (especially those that 'seemed' a little out of place for the Buffett-man).

Nick has been studying Warren Buffer by way of news articles and Berkshire's annual reports for many years. From these studies, the author has built what he thinks is the strategy that Warren uses to analyze and eventually purchase companies. The book explains how Buffet is part Ben Graham, part Philip Fisher and part Charlie Munger and explains how each of their theories has influenced Buffet's business purchasing techniques.
I am not an expert investment guy. I wanted to find out more who Warren Buffet is and I was not disappointed. Ultimately, Warren Buffett believes in research, research, research when BUYING a company. When you buy a stock, you are purchasing shares in a company. Therefore, know that company. He looks at everything from quality leadership, past and potential future earnings, and most importantly, he asks anyone who is purchasing stock - do you understand the company and what they do. If you don't...more
Warren Buffet is an American hero in my opinion. Humble, down-home, ethical, charming and intensely brilliant. The book is part biographical; part descriptive of the Buffet investment philosophies. Since Warren Buffet invests in simple, easy-to-understand businesses, the description of the companies in his portfolio's are pure "Americana". Robert Hagstrom did a fantastic job writing the book....well-written and totally engaging. I was not bored for a minute.

Recommends it for:
Eighth graders
Don't bother. I expected better from the practitioner who wrote this, Robert Hagstrom of Legg Mason Capital Management, but in its audio version it's dry, simplistic, and badly read by someone who gears his pace toward eighth graders. That's probably the best audience for this book. All others, especially anyone who has even a passing familiarity with Buffet, should skip this and read "The Essays of Warren Buffett" or Berkshire Hathaway's annual reports instead.
I've read Buffett's biography before, which in hindsight, is a much better book. The title made me think the book is going to be about how Buffett invests. It is, but the bigger focus is giving account of what seems like every single company Buffett ever owned, and why.
This case study sprinkled with investment principles is unfortunately neither as riveting as a biography nor as informative as a how to book.

I enjoyed this quick and to-the-point read. It is far better than the current Best Seller Tap Dancing to Work garbage. Read this for a simple overview

Solid investment advice from the best. Well written with a minimum of personality and many investment war stories about various investments like GEICO, the Washington Post, Coek Guiness, Gillette, Wells Fargo. He starts with Ben graham's low p/e ratio investing strategy. Buffett calls it the cigar butt theory of investing. There is one last puff before it goes broke. The investment strategies that can be used by the little guy investor are to purchase franchises (Coke Guiness, GEICO, the Washing...more

Good stuff - history of the man, details about his biggest and most successful (except 2 duds) common stock purchases as well as a wealth of info on how he picks stocks and how he doesn't. Interesting read and solid, practical advise about investing from the best ever.
This was a pretty good book. It was surprising to me that the things I have said and done in the stock market all of these years are what Warren Buffet teaches! Guess I should put a little more time and energy into that. :-)
Took me two years to start reading this book, finally I read it at the same time I read a Damn right on the other person behind Warren Buffet "Damn Right" good book about how Buffet chooses a company to invest in
I actually listened to the version narrated by Stefan Rudnicki - one of my favourite 'voice actors' - and he did a good job of bringing some life to the pages and making this somewhat tolerable.
While the book does present and illustrate the Buffet investing characteristics with enough biographical information to flesh out the story in an interesting way, in the end the book's repetitiveness got to me.

I really liked this book. At times is was a little redundant and long but it thouroughly explained it's points and gave case studies to illistrate. I would recomend it if you want to learn more about stocks.
Interesting book on how Warren Buffet made it big. Don't caount on learning how to do it and follow his foot steps. I'm not sure you can make it big the way he did anymore.
I persevered and finished the book! Though of an interesting subject, the style of writing is long and draggy. Feel that it can be better written in a more concise form.
The book describes the learning of Warren Buffet world's greatest investor and the thinking philosophy behind the pickin of stocks or businesses.
Must read for any potential investor...

Good background on Buffett's timeless strategies. Bought this in the 90's. It "disappeared". I need to read it again with fresh eyes.
Completely insightful and thought provoking. If you ever wanted to invest in the stock market this will help you plan your attack.
Good biography on Warren but doesn't give deep insight into the value investing methodology and how Warren picks his investments.
Goes over Warren Buffet's investment strategy in a very high level sense. You won't learn enough to actually do anything.
Althought Buffettology been explain in a lot of sources but this book enhanced all the knowledge I've know before.
Now this book is really good because it really tells what makes buffet genius in a very simple and sensible way.
this book is the shit. Not a bio. This is the straight dope on how to invest like an owner. SUPER LEGIT.
Nice book on Stock investment, even though you need to review all your financial text book :)
A bit tedious... better complement by reading Snowball first, or reading them together.
Want to know about Warren Buffet's success story.. read this
great mindset for anyone who wants to invest in their future.
Not very good, but you can find buffett's ideas in this book.
