Review: The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch

User Review  - Cathy Allington - Goodreads

I wanted to give this no stars. I had to give it one as a minimum. How on earth this was accepted for publication is beyond my comprehension. The book has no seeming order. it starts on the Dow Jones ... Read full review

Review: The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch

User Review  - Susie - Goodreads

Not a fan of the writing style or the decision to whip back and forth between past and present but it gave an inside view into Murdochs mentality/perspective. Read full review

Review: The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch

User Review  - Chris O'Brien - Goodreads

While there were moments that I found this book entertaining, I don't mind saying that Michael Wolff's writing in general drives me crazy. Though he insists he interviewed boatloads of people ... Read full review

Review: The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch

User Review  - Bill - Goodreads

This writer misses NOTHING in his retelling of the complicated mating ritual between Murdoch and the Bancroft family, from whom he purchased the Wall Street Journal. You can tell Wolff has an ear for gossip, because it takes just that kind of personality to follow this tale... Read full review

Review: The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch

User Review  - Ian Kemp - Goodreads

Potentially interesting subject but the author's ego looms larger than that of his subjects. Wolff has so many opinions that Rupert and co barely get a word in edgeways. I quit at page 66 when he said ... Read full review

User Review  - Louise Tobin - Goodreads

I went into this book wanting, and expecting to despise Murdoch. However I found myself understanding him more and while still not approving of many of his viewpoints or the fact that they are always 'advertised' in his newspapers. Read full review

I only read about half of this book before the library demanded it back due to being reserved by another patron. I probably could have finished it on time but it was not managing to keep me interested ... Read full review

Review: The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch

User Review - Goodreads

As much as I may despise the political tendencies of Rupert Murdoch, it is an undeniable fact that he is a business-savvy media mogul. I started Wolff's thus far excellent book, and Murdoch's life is as fascinating as one would imagine.
