Not bad overall - By: Mr. J. Mellitas, 29 Apr 2008 
Not a bad book overalll. I don't reallly have an interest in reading about busines men with Casinos. Anyone can make a lot of money with a casinos as you will have gamblers addicted to it so what has this got to do with running a business successfully? You're making money from addicts. Easy money! I am actuallly a Dragon's Den addict. Sure, they're alll millionaires & arrogant & the try to show it & can be quite contrasending times. Duncan however seems quite level headed although probably one of the most hesitan in terms of investing in any ideas. I enjoyed the book overalll though & was not disappointed. This is a man that made his own luck. He started off seeling ice cream from an ice cream truck n had to build his businesses & that's hard work.
Biography not a business Book - By: G. Donohoe, 21 Apr 2008 
I bought this book because it was advertised as good business book, its not, it's an excellent book about Duncans life & is a good read , but as book about his business it is not good.At one point he actuallly writes that "he is not giving his secrets away for the price of a book".
He has been very successful & is a serial businessman but I found the book lacking in detail as to how he managed it.
But it a good read & his story is well worth reading.
Inspiring!! - By: L. Carter, 16 Apr 2008 
I have been truly inspired by Duncan Bannatyne's account of his exciting life & thoroughly deseved wealth! As a fellow Scot I was always drawn to his character on Dragon's Den, but it was so nice to read a very frank & open review of his life.
I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who admires a determined person. It seriously inspired me to continue my business dreams with a little more viguor!
Like other readers I could not put the book down so prepare for some late reading evenings!
Thank you Mr Bannatyne for an excellent book & an inspiring read. It must be so nice to know that you can touch other people's lives with your enthusiasm.
One of the best books I've read. EXCELLENT !!!!!!! - By: A. Bux, 15 Apr 2008 At first I thought this book might be one of many books which some people tend to 'over rate' in reviews.
But this is by far one of THE BEST BOOKS I have read in my life. Even if you don't want to be an entrepreneur, this book is still a great read.
Great story, told in an effective, emotive manner.
You won't want to put the book down.
