看一下美国主流媒体的评论：
“This quintessentially American tale about the ultimate self-made man—and in some ways the least changed… [Is] the definitive portrait of a complex man…Should become a Bible for capitalists.”—Washington Post
"Mr. Buffett made a smart choice when he chose Alice Schroeder as his Boswell…. A writer able to keep pace with the wild swerves in the Buffett story and the intricacies of Mr. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway business empire. Ms. Schroeder is as insightful about her subject’s precise anticipation of current financial crises as she is about his quirky personal story. And she is a clear explicator of fiscal issues."—New York Times
"The mandatory book to read in these treacherous times of financial crisis."—Forbes
"Timing aside, Schroeder has written a surprisingly good book, ‘surprisingly’ because even with a surfeit of minutiae about Buffett’s private life and one deal after another, she still writes with a deft touch and keeps the narrative moving. While she clearly has Buffett’s blessing and cooperation, she manages to be blunt in her assessment of him…….he may not be the easiest person to know personally, but he has lived a life worth studying and in Schroeder has found someone uniquely able to tell his story."—Los Angeles Times
"Schroeder, a former analyst, has a meat-and-potatoes style that matches the homespun wisdom of her subject…Now more than ever, Buffett’s emphasis on fundamentals seems like genius. It’s the perfect moment for a great book on an immensely inspiring capitalist."—People, four stars
“There are lessons to be learned in Ms. Schroeder’s 900+ pages… . [It] underscores the importance of learning from failures…. Most tellingly: The next time Warren Buffett warns of a crisis, we’d all better listen.”–Wall Street Journal
“You will learn a lot about one of the nation’s most compelling and important men from reading The Snowball.”—Boston Globe
