This was a really good book. With all information well presented and well edited.

It talks a lot about Bob's professional story and about how he made the biggest acquisitions that Disney made during his tenure. It was good to understand how each piece fits into the larger puzzle, how he dealt with his board and the executives from the company he was acquiring. It gave a peek into what all he had to do as a CEO and it was great to learn that.

Besides all the good things, what I felt the book lacked was more information about his personal life and the challenges he faced in his personal life. Without this the book is just a corporate memoir told in the CEO's words, but don't get me wrong, it's a great one indeed.
