Here's an excerpt from the book and the review...
"At age 9, already obsessed with earning money, Warren Buffett is playing in the yard with his younger sister, catching snowflakes.
"He starts to pack them into a ball. As the snowball grows bigger, he places it on the ground. Slowly it begins to roll. He gives it a push, and it picks up more snow. He pushes the snowball across the lawn, piling snow on snow. Soon he reaches the edge of the yard. After a moment of hesitation, he heads off, rolling the snowball through the neighborhood.
"And from there, Warren continues onward, casting his eye on a whole world full of snow."
