Abramovich

Abramovich

Reviewer:

Very good book and well written. Gives a good insight into the workings of the man and a breif description on how he obtained a vast wealth, should definately be read by people who come out with the "he earned his money through the mafia rubbish" the account of the russians in the south of france and their "easy life" is particularly interesting if not in great detail. Some minor points let it down though, if you are looking for an insight into his personality or the exact movements in wealth from a young age this is the wrong book, at one stage he jumps from obtaining export leases on oil to owning major shares in RusAl in a matter of a few pages.

Best bit: chapters when putin is involved (more detail)
Worst bit: a chapter that rambles on about the jews and tsars (goes on about 5 pages too long)
good read
