Title: I loved this book.
Product review: My copy of this book is dogeared from repeated reading. I loved the book. The story of Rockefeller's rise to be the first billionaire from his "rustic" beginnings and all that went into it is reason enough to pick up the book. Rockefeller is now synonomous with wealth and has become a part of the lexicon to indicate money and achievement. Chernow does an outstanding job fleshing out this individual and showing his path to the top, while being unable to completely leave behind a spartan childhood and its effects.Even if the story was not enough, which it is - Chernow's writing is worth picking up the substantial text and reading it over and over. His prose puts you squarely in the story and brings the times and the people alive around you.The history is worth learning, the comparisons to present day men like Gates might surprise. Every generation has its "Robber Barons".HIGHLY RECOMMEND
