Not that many people have interesting lives worth dedicating a biography for, but Branson is a rare exception. Most of his adventures are whimsical, impulsive, and stupid, but his choice for fun over practicality makes things work out in the most magical way.
I rate this highly not because it was well written (it was actually a bit long), but because I want to adopt aspects of his personality in my life.

Loved everything about this. His life reads like fiction but basically he just had the guts to do it - whatever the opportunity was.
It was okay. I wouldnt bother reading it again anytime soon...
Awesome book and what a lifestyle he has lived so far!
I had to laugh at someone's review of "its a bit predictable". Firstly it's an autobiography not fiction and secondly, his life and this book are anything other than predictable. He is an entrepreneur full of character and that is portrayed in this book. I loved it.

An interesting insight to one of the greatest living entrepreneurs today. A must read for anyone who wants to peak into the entrepreneurial lifestyle.
An extraordinary passionated man...who dared to take big risks and is successful with bright ideas.
He fully engaged himself into life and just kept building momentum. It was a colourful journey.
business classic - man is unique, always was, his Mother was a massive influence on his life..
Good read. Excellent to get behind the eyes of such a successful entrepreneur.
The BA saga embodies all that's bad about business and innovation blocking...
