Snowball: Warren Buffett and The Business of Life



About the book and its Contents:

Snowball is probably the latest and most comprehensive biography made about Warren Buffett, one of the most successful and wealthiest investors in the world.

Almost a thousand pages thick, this extensive biography begins with the history of Warren Buffett's family (his parents and siblings), moves on to his childhood years, school years, married life, investment and business decisions, and ends with his latest business and personal life update.


Review

For those who are truly interested in knowing the factors that helped shape Warren Buffett and his principles to date, this is one book you must have and read thoroughly.

It certainly would give light to any misconception readers and fans may have had with reading some articles about him.
 
 
Difficulty Level = 2/5

Though the book is thick, it is easy to read, provided you're interested in reading biographies.


Personal Rating = 5/5

Personal finance tip for today:
Just as a snowball gets more powerful the longer it rolls down the hill, the same can be said with the power of compounding. Make sure that you make use of compounding in investing and not let compounding work against you.
