Richard Branson is one of those guys that everyone wants to be or wants to know. He does cool shit, does it his way, and doesn't seem to be a dick about it—from the limited I've read about him. I was excited to read a book by him. It was fun. It was cool. It had great stories about his origins and the growth of Virgin. I didn't get much else out of it.
