A great compilation of Warren-isms, presented clearly for all to understand. Like Warren himself, the book is plain spoken and covers a myriad of topics. This book is easy to pick up at almost any point. I feel like I learned some very helpful investing, as well as, life lessons.

A collection of quotes from Warren Buffett. Always useful but nothing particularly new.

This is an excellent little book for gaining insight into the philosophy, thought processes, and methods of Warren Buffet.

While I was expecting a somewhat more serious, textbook-like approach to Buffet, this light-hearted overview of his personality and wisdom was a pleasant surprise! Easy to read, but still insightful.

The balance of direct quotes from Buffet, complemented by the personal experience of the author, made for an effective overview of Buffet as a person, businessman, and investor.

Very quick read with interesting quips from an obvious fan. Enjoyed it. More biographical than sharing much financial literacy.

The book has a pretty good selection of quotes from Warren on a wide range of topics, but primarily business and stocks. He comes across as a smug braggart and doesn’t sound very wise in general. Also, his stock and business quotes aren’t insightful. It has generic advise like “pick companies with good management” or a good business etc: but how one is to know if the management or the business is good is not explained. Peter Lynch’s books give more useful tips for the individual investor. I am now convinced I am not interested in Warren Buffett’s personality although I have no doubt he is incredibly capable of reading the stock market and making money off of it.

A collection fo some of his sayings and insights. Pretty dynamic read.
If you're interested on more in-depth content, i would recommend something else.
However if you are new to the world of investing, it's and interesting read.

Might be the easiest way to get acquainted with Buffett's investing wisdom. I read the first edition (from 1997), and will be ordering the second one for my library.
