Summary: An Extreemly Interesting Read
Review: When I got this book I did not know what to expect. But the initial thoughts I had about Branson being an outright business genius were blown away. It is interesting to hear about his mistakes, his experiences and his apporach to business. His whole life story is interesting from the start to where the book leaves off. I honestly found it hard to put down. Branson's story is so different to that of other great business personalities that it is refreshing. I await with anticipation the next installment.

Summary: Worth the read just for the humor.
Review: If you are looking for business details and well drawn out plans executed in the building of a business empire, this is not it. It is about an approach to life written with frankness and a sense of humor which sheds more light on Branson's success than any detailed business expose could have done.

Review: This book is a gives inspiration to any entrepeneur. Richard Bransons autobiography gives a detailed view into the creation of the Virgin name, from being on the verge of insolvency in an era of sex and drugs to near death in balooning trips around the world. In all occasions Branson has fought back with great character to fight another day. He gives a deep in look into his personal life and even describes his first sexual encounter which interestingly is very humorus. Richard Branson's determination shown throughout the book shows why he is one of the biggest successes in the world with his Virgin empire.

Summary: The most enjoyable biography I've ever read!
Review: Expecting the usual heavy duty read that most biographies seem to entail, I put off starting this book for some time. However once opening the first page I found that I could not even pause for coffee and read for 3 hours in my first sitting. The information was well presented in a relaxed kind of way, rather like listening to a friend. I felt annoyed when the author felt annoyed and happy when he did. Altogether a most enjoyable read, more like a novel than a biography.

Summary: Excellent reading
