The Snowball is an in-depth review of Warren Buffett¿s life. At times I found this book surprisingly candid as it identified the frailties as well as strengths of Warren Buffett. This helped me associate with Warren Buffett the person and in my opinion, makes him seem all the more impressive given the challenges he had to overcome during this rise to fame. I found The Snowball to be a must read for those interested in leadership, self-help, or even just a good story.
