A bit of hyperbole in being the "only person ever to..." in some places, but very good. I wished he had focused a bit more on some places. Very illuminating and intriguing last chapter about the US and Greenspan. ( )

Like Peter Lynch, Rogers is of that rarest of breeds: a successful fund manger. Some would say they both had the sense to quit while they were ahead. Lynch chose to spend more time with his family and Rogers set off round the World, first on a motorbike and then in a yellow Mercedes sports car perched on the carcass of a Toyota Landcruiser. Since he likes to invest "where there is blood on the streets" you are assured of thrills. High adventure meets high finance. You could not make it up, which is why it is so good. ( )

Jim Rogers might full of himself and slightly neo-classical in outlook but he seems to be full of life and would certainly make a fascinating travel companion. Don't forget, Jim Rogers may have more to due with George Soros' success than Soros himself. Definately worth the effort. ( )
