Summary: Oh Give Me a Break....
Review: This book is so mis-informed and so badly written about this man, who is nothing more then a coperate raider that has destroye companies and ruined the lives of so many people who worked there. Good for use as toilet paper, but not reading.

Rating:
Summary: High on fluff low on actual substance
Review: I must say I was disappointed as soon as I perused the first few pages of the book. I was expecting a more business-oriented and substantive read but was disheartened by the excessive concentration on impertinent personal details on Ron's life that the average businessperson doesn't give a hoot about. The actual deals are mentioned in passing while the reader is forced to suffer through interminable fluff. Vendors should place this book as close as possible to the tabloid section of the bookstore.
