Review
Roger Lowenstein, the author of the book, is one of the few who can write well about Warren Buffett. Though the book is quite lengthy, it is not boring at all to read, assuming you are truly interested in learning more about how Warren Buffett really thinks in several situations. It provides the necessary detail and the proper context for the generalizations people make about his investment policies and style. You will get to understand what he means by risk, margin of safety, and investment, as opposed to speculation.
