Tap Dancing to Work

With flawless speaking voices and nuanced phrasing, both of these narrators convey relaxed confidence for those listening to this collection of magazine articles about Warren Buffett. The book is mainly about Buffett's methods, microeconomics, and the evolution of modern investing practice--topics that are a perfect match for Susan Boyce's understated personality and dry delivery. The talented Barry Press reads with more flair but never sounds like he's performing or out-of-sync with the material. The alternating narration adds appealing contrast to the production. The three phases of Buffett's life represented are his years as an investor, a business manager, and a philanthropist. Though these articles are weighted toward the technical side of money management, the book doesn't lose sight of Buffett's warmth, generosity, and wisdom. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
