See allA straight-up traditional biography of Andrew's life so far. There are a few chapters on his childhood and education, but most of the book details his various business failures and successes. There isn't much business or financial advice, but the book's central theme is the pursuit of more. More for the sake of it and having got more, what to do with it? And why did he get more? And is it morally wrong to have more? And how much more is enough?
It's a great read. Andrew comes across as a nice guy, even if he is a billionaire.
A genuinely funny book about golf with huge laugh-out-loud moments. There are side pilots of drug deals, gangsters, affairs, tourettes, and family relationships, but they don't detract from the golf. Some fantastic descriptions of the kind of madness that envelops people who are addicted to a sport, especially one that seems so incredibly random and difficult to be good at as golf.
I give it five “smoke my big fat **ing dobbers” out of five.
This isn't a book about anything. Nothing happens. There is no adventure and the author forgot to add the content of a story. However, there are endless descriptions of the earth from orbit. Page after page of run-on sentences, no paragraph breaks, and lists of things. Also lots of reflections on what it is to be human, what is humanity, and our role in the cosmos. Tedious stuff but an extra star for being relatively short.
