Reviews

"This is the best book on Buffett in years. Compelling, penetrating, and highly valuable."
-Lawrence Kudlow, host, CNBC's "Kudlow and Company"
"The author takes a contrarian - or at least mildly dissenting - view of Mr. Buffett's investing acumen. . . Mr. Janjigian also sheds light on Mr. Buffett's magic. Mr. Buffett has two large advantages that the average investor doesn't have, advantages that are often overlooked by those who try to mimic him."
-"The Wall Street Journal"
"This is exactly what has been missing from the litany of Buffett books. Vahan's razor sharp arguments make this book a unique- and important- work for every Buffett friend or foe."
-Barbara Marcin, portfolio manager, Gabelli Blue Chip Value Fund "Clear and compelling."

--Leon Charney, host and moderator, "The Leon Charney Report"

aMr. Janjigian notes that Mr. Buffett has rightly had to adjust his corporate- governance policies to provide more transparency. He chides Mr. Buffett for backing the call to account for the cost of stock options more explicitly. He carps about Mr. Buffett's approval of the estate a or "death" a tax; and he dislikes Mr. Buffett'sopposition to tax cuts, arguing that the current tax system unnecessarily costs investors money... Mr. Janjigian also sheds light on Mr. Buffett's magic... Mr. Janjigian also helpfully notes what is at the heart of Berkshire Hathaway's business and investment firepower.a -- Dave Kansas, "The Wall Street Journal"
