I'll just start by saying I'm an unabashed parrothead who would buy anything Buffet writes or sings. There was a lot of hype surrounding the release of the book, including a simulcast concert/book kickoff from New Orleans. We saw it in a theater in California and thoroughly enjoyed it. The book started out OK, but began to drag and ramble with the whole foam party thing, lengthy letters from Willie Singer with more detail than needed and making you wish he'd get to the point. There was a the cast of crazies you expect in a Buffett book.
