Bill Marriott

Good relationship between price and quality

Great read, really enjoyed it. Learnt much toward my business as well as spiritual. I was disappointed however to read more about the troubled relationship with his son John via other online research. I felt that this very important part of Bill's was glazed over and perhaps a very one sided reflection. This includes the silence over John's addictions as well as his version of leaving Marriott International. The duty of the author is to write from all perspectives especially on Bill who almost makes us all look below average. We would probably all relate more and even feel as qualified to be religious if we heard the worts and all story rather than purely portraying Bill as a saint.

An absolute cracking read. Just goes to show that honesty really does pay. Couldn't put it down.

A brilliant read, highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the history of Bill Marriott. He has had a fascinating life. The chapter on 9/11 was a total surprise to me. I had no idea what was happening at the Marriott in NYC. Well written, easy to follow. However due to time constraints; I also have the audio CD's and have listened to much of the second half of the book so far in my car. If I don't care for the reader voice, I stop listening to that particular audio book tape. I found Bruce Lindsay's voice very nice for this book. Definitely recommend this Bill Marriott book.
