   Not bad and not great.

   Not a bad read. Easy to get through and has some interesting parts. But felt it was a little repetitive and self congratulatory. Still he is an inspiring character and worth a read.

   Quick read

   It has a mildly inspirational flavor, but doesn't capture the dynamic of personal charisma that I'm sure that Richard has. Would have liked a deeper treatment.

   Quite good

   This book was always going to be an easy winner with me because my own pholiosophy lines up with the title and I like Richard Branson. Having said that I found it lacked any real depth.

   The printed version is better than this kindle version

   I've read 'em both. The expanded, printed version of this book is more useful than this short Kindle version. Get the printed copy instead of this one.

   Not bad...

   A little low on substance. I wouldn't exactly call it "lessons in life", but maybe "some stuff I've picked up along the way... and I like balloons!" It is a quick and encouraging read, though, from a fascinating character! Would love to read the same book with a lot more substance.

   A good toilet read

   A good company for your toilet moments, this book is short and sweet and it sure beats reading magazines. I love how Sir Branson shares his biz experiences and golden biz nuggets, he definitely has a knack for storytelling! Then again, he proves a fact that you indeed need to be both crazy and lucky to be a good entrepreneur in this world.

   Richard Branson needs an editor

   As interesting a character as Richard Branson is, he should definitely hire a better editor. The book was a horrible read.
