Book Review - Business"s Most Wanted by Jim Romeo
Jim Romeo's book titled, "Business's Most Wanted: The Top 10 Book of Corporate Greed, Eccentric Entrepreneurs, and Management Oddities," is a book about facts and interesting information about everything related to the world of business.
The book is extremely easy to read and is 252 pages long.
This is one of several "Most Wanted" books, other topics including golf, military history, espionage, and cities like Chicago.
Romeo's book is divided into approximately 60 top 10 lists, each list ranging from three to four pages in length.
Some of the more interesting top 10 lists in this book deal with the following topics: 1.
The oldest corporations in the United States 2.
Companies who devote much time to charity and community outreach 3.
Jobs to watch in the next decade 4.
People who made it rich by the time they were 40 5.
Millionaires and billionaires who started out poor 6.
Some of the dumbest things ever said by influential people 7.
Presidents who were successful business owners as well 8.
Grave site locations of business tycoons 9.
Philanthropists of note 10.
Businessmen and women who played golf or cards very well Mostly all of the top 10 lists are very simplistic and you can tell that the author did a fair amount of research to write this book.
However, he falls short in many aspects and leaves the reader feeling like several of the excerpts from this book are incomplete or do not provide enough information to make much sense.
Sometimes, the writing style is also very elementary and you may feel like you are wasting your time by reading the book.
Overall, this book is fine if you are looking to waste some time and learn a few interesting pieces of information.
Jim Romeo's "Most Wanted" book would be ideal if you are waiting to catch a plane at the airport or killing time between classes at school.
Otherwise, you are probably better off picking up a good biography or company success story and learning about a company in-depth.
Men such as Andrew Carnegie, John D.
Rockefeller, and many of the United States presidents are mentioned repeatedly in this book.
Having read many biographies of these men, I recommend you pick up one of their biographies or autobiographies and you will learn a great deal of information about some very important individuals.
This book does not provide enough information to feel like you are actually learning any information of value by reading it.
Overall, I rate this book a 2 out of 5 for the simplistic writing style and incomplete amount of information provided by the author.
