A very well-written and fascinating book, that not really gives you anything, except some knowledge of the the author and his Virgin empire.

Ýou will probably enjoy this the most, if you're British or knows some of the Virgin business firsthand, but it is a decent read in all circumstances, as long as you don't expect to learn anything from it.
