Buy it if you love Munger, Buffett or Berkshire - Otherwise, Not Worth the Time
If you just *love* Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett, or Berkshire Hathaway - then buy this book. Otherwise - wait for them to come out with a 70 page version of it. This is a monster of a book designed to go on a coffee table - over 500 pages of rambling transcripts of repetitive speeches with lots of full color photos, asides on historical characters and other items that look like blatant attempts by a high schooler to fill up the page count on a report. There are nuggets of wisdom in the book. No one can question Munger has achieved a lot. The book is incredibly repetitive. If you want classic financial wisdom - go read any of the Wiley Investment Classics before this. If you want life advice - this is not the place to find it - and if you do find it, you'll find the same aphorism repeated page after page. There is a reason that there is no 'sneak peak' function for this book - anyone who clicked through it would dismiss it as not being very in depth on the financial side and also disappointingly weak in the style of writing. Spend your time elsewhere.
