An interesting story book, but not for trading

Although quite out of date, this is the most interesting amongst all other bibliographies of Soros I ever read. This could be attributed to that the author could not get direct info from Soros or his associates at all. Without the burden of returning any favor, the author could quote whatever and whoever (some ex Soros partners) he liked, particularly criticisms, which were the most interesting parts of the book. Other parts,...

Primer of Thought

This book helps decipher the code of a great speculator. Financiers like Soros help keep the financial and economical mkt mesh in sync. Recent news on the dismantling of his Quantum (largest hedge fund in the world) and Quota funds has many on the street bewildered about his authority, but it should be understood that Soros publicly announced about two years ago that he no longer meddled in any of the funds' investments...

good book, bad character

After reading this book, I thing the author was pretty neutral. But the conclusion is just one:these kind of investors are the synthesis of what rotten there is in capitalism.

Interesting. A must for understanding the great speculator

Actually, this is the first of biography I reads about an investor. I am quite amased that I would enjoy it. I don't care what other people think of it or whether it is "authorized" or not. It tells a great story about the life of the great speculator from his early life, which shaped his investment and personal philosophy, onwards. It is a good book of introduction for understanding Soros investment theory -- ...

Incisive literature about the "World's Greatest Investor"

Amazingly enough, I actually enjoyed reading this book. Not only was it informative, it also gave good insights into Soros's investment strategies and philantropic work. Still, since this book is an "unauthorized biography", I believe that a better product can be written by synthesizing the contents of this book with those of "Soros on Soros".
