I read JR when it first came out, and there was a review in the Harvard Business School newspaper, which lays out the way JR developed his business empire. Surprisingly plausible.
As much as I agree that JR is fun read fast, I think it is more fun the more familiar you get with it. It is very carefully written and there are all kinds of little jokes and plot points.
The audiobook is wonderful. I listened to JR about 10 years ago, and because you had to burn CD’s to listen in the car and because I wasn’t very good at that I listened to each CD over and over for two weeks at a time, and I was still picking things up as I finished each CD.
