Review:I feel that this book captured the real spirit of Sam Walton. Why I liked it so much is the simple fact that I got a glimpse of how Sam thought and conducted business. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in starting their own business, or to those who are just interested in this giant thing called WallMart and its founder Read more
Review:A fascinating book on innovation, natural monopolies and their eventual downfalls. Great to read from front to back. Would be great to have an updated version that compares the predictions/suggestions in the final chapter (regarding electric vehicles) with what is happening with Tesla Motors and the wider electric vehicle market.

Review:Fantastic book! Great meld of the culture, the personalities, the behaviours that allowed a very small group of exceptionally talented folks alter our society (for good or bad - your call).
The descriptions of how the group worked together, albeit dysfunctionally often, was illuminating. Read more
Review:A fast-paced and funny book filled with British wit. I laughed out loud several times. I felt like I knew all of the characters by the end of the story. I also read and recommend the follow-up book, Even More Ketchup Than Salsa. A great summer read. Read more
Review:Such a wonderful, truthful journey told with such grace and humility. Stuart's life in sports and battling cancer is a shining example of faith, family, and friends. In the end, all that matters is the moments spent living. Read more
Review:Knowing nothing about leveraged buy outs, I found this book to be very educational. It is extremely well written and rivals the best fiction books for suspense and intrigue. It's a non stop page turner that clearly shows the effects of greed and ego can reek havoc on companies and their employees as well as the country's economy. Read more

Review:Marc Ecko provides an honest and insightful look at personal brand creation. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to ANYONE who needs clarity in developing their ideas beyond their imagination. I especially enjoyed the anecdotes and asides. Although, at some points, the asides interrupted the narrative flow, the illustrations/photographs enlighten and entertain. Awesome read; sick-ass story and trilliant execution. Read more
