It's highly readable and pertinent for anyone that wants to know more about investing. Better than buying a mutual fund with predictable and great returns. Well worth a read for anybody interested in investing.
They also discuss buybacks reminding the reader what a rational buyback policy should be based on. The evaluation of egos in the c suite (mostly the ceo) is very useful.
Cons
The book seems extremely dragging, and completely out of touch. If you want a good buffett book buy the tao of warren buffett by mary buffett anddavid clark. They're a total rip off.
