Mon 11 Nov 2008Rich pickings in an overlong, authorised biography of a billionaire investor
BOOK OF THE DAY: The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Schroeder Bloomsbury 960pp, £25 reviewed by CONOR O'CLERY
THIS IS the second major biography of Warren Buffett, whose net worth was recently estimated at US$62 billion, but the first which he authorised. The result is a sympathetic, if overlong, account of the intriguing life and astonishing success of the legendary investor who accumulated money like a snowball rolling down a hill.
