Richard Branson's autobiography - 'Losing My Virginity' has to be one of the most inspiring & adictive books you can read. A true holiday book!

At times you don't know whether to love him or hate him. He has succeeded through drive, ambition and being there ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of stories
Disadvantages: none really

I had always had an interest in Richard Branson and when his autobiography came out i was really excited, but then i saw the price tag £20, a lot of money, so i went and bought another book. The a few years later i saw the hard back copy for £5 pounds and snapped it up immediately. I am so glad i did because this is such an interesting book, on a very interesting person. The book is very big and has many different sections, on different businesses, ... Read review

Advantages: It will definitely keep you occupied.
Disadvantages: He hasn't written the second part yet.

One of the best autobiographies I have ever read. Richard Branson’s biography is very inspiring, after reading this I felt like I could take on the world. He has taken on most of it. From flying high in Hot balloons to getting his fleet of aeroplanes off the ground and picking up hostages. From buying an island to signing the Rolling Stones. Richard Branson is a guy that lives life to the full; he works hard, but plays even harder. ‘Losing my virginity’ ... Read review

Disadvantages: Could have been longer is all i can say

Seriously, who would expect a book about Richard Bransons life to be really interesting ?. Yeah, so we know he's a wheeler and a dealer and has been up in an air balloon, but what else ?!. Well, a hell of a lot of stuff in this book was new to me, some of the business "adventures" he got up to were daring to say the least. This man has done a lot of things in his life, a lot of very interesting things - either that, or it's all made up. He has ... Read review

Advantages: inspires you and lets you into Richards life
Disadvantages: when you finish the book you still want more

I have always been a "fan" of fan of the man with the midas touch and always thought that what he did was done correctly first time. This book lifts the lid on his life and shows you that whilst the man is successful through and through, he has had so many knocks in life and has always found a way round them to continue being successful. He didnt let a brick wall stop him and found a way round the obstacle to achieve what he set out to do. I particularly ... Read review
