Best part of this book for me is seeing how much businesses change as they go from idea to reality. ]]> <![CDATA[Andrew Warner voted on the book list 'Best Books Ever']]> http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1.Best_Books_Ever 170093 Andrew voted on the book list Best Books Ever ]]> <![CDATA[Andrew Warner installed the Goodreads Facebook Application]]> http://apps.facebook.com/good_reads/ check it out » ]]> <![CDATA[Andrew added 'A Prisoner of Birth']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22115407 to: A Prisoner of Birth (Hardcover) by Jeffrey Archer
Like other books by Archer, this one is about a guy who claws his way from poverty to incredible riches.

If you're looking for a motivating novel that's packed with ambition and suspense, give this one a read. ]]> <![CDATA[Andrew added 'Sneaker Wars: The Brothers Who Founded Adidas and Puma and the Family Feud That Forever Changed the Business of Sport']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22115018 to: Sneaker Wars: The Brothers Who Founded Adidas and Puma and the Family Feud That Forever Changed the Business of Sport (Hardcover) by Barbara Smit
At one point, Adidas was an international power, on par with some mid-sized country. This book talks about how Adidas controlled the Olympics, did business with the Soviets during the cold war and controlled international sports using little brown envelops of cash and big checks.

Even though it focuses on Adidas and Puma, Nike is the real hero of this book. It's amazing how Nike went from being a shoe that the Adidas executives tossed over their shoulders out of disrespect to dominating the world that Adidas and Puma invented. ]]> <![CDATA[Andrew added 'The House of Mondavi: The Rise and Fall of an American Wine Dynasty']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20430223 to: The House of Mondavi: The Rise and Fall of an American Wine Dynasty (Hardcover) by Julia Flynn Siler
