62/100
👎 Skip It
Brownlee's translation of Buffett's investing criteria into small-business terms is clear and well-illustrated with familiar brands like Coca-Cola and McDonald's, though some readers note it fits improving an existing business better than starting one from scratch and wish for more original case studies. Walter Dixon's award-caliber narration is genuinely the standout here — worth the listen for his performance alone.
