Summary: Go to Warren's internet site instead
Review: This book provides trivial context free quotes from the Master. The context can be provided if you read the full text. (You may find you disagree with it in context.) Anyway, the Berkshire homepage (WWW.BERKSHIREHATHAWAY.COM) has a full set of Berkshire letters to shareholders. Read these instead.

Summary: Laugh and Learn at the same time. This is great!
Review: This book really captures Buffett's spirit and his personality. What a guy! All of can learn from his investments, but also from his balanced view of life, the world, family, and so forth.

Summary: Random thoughts?
Review: This books should be called "The random thoughts of a rich old man." It appears to me someone followed Mr. Buffet around and wrote down what ever he said then thought "how do I present this is a book?, oh how about a random collection of dis-jointed thoughts! yea that's it!!"

Summary: A Collection of Quotes
Review: This is the wit and wisdom of Warren Buffet, the "World's Greatest Investor." Not all of the quotes are from him but are from friends, family, and colleagues. As mentioned in the book, this is more along the lines of Will Rogers. It is not strictly aphorisms on investing.Just seeing Buffett's name sparked my enthusiasm in the book. Thinking this book would have a lot of investing tips, I was disappointed. The first part of the book consists of sayings on life in general. As the book progresses, then some investing thoughts are covered. When they are covered, they are not easily converted into a personal strategy to make a quick profit. This does not mean that it is without merit. The key idea I will take from this book is to invest in companies rather than stock. If your research shows that the company is solid, you should invest in that company. Another idea is to invest as if you were going to leave for 5-10 years and had no way to change the investment. There is a repeat of at least one quote. "You don't need to be a rocket scientist. Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with 130 IQ." A rather encouraging thought about investing. If you are looking for a guide to investing, then this is not your book. If you were looking for ideas to think about that would help shape long-term goals, then this would be more helpful. I would wait for the book by Warren Buffett.

Summary: Fantastic consize, educational, valuable advice and humorous
Review: While internet stock are going through the roof tips on how to fund intrinsic value and determine who will be around in ten years are extremely valuable to anyone interested in accumulating capital and increasing standards of living over time. Hope Warren will one day write a book himself and address in it on-line trading, index-based portfolio management and practical risk management relevant to individuals.
