This is a HUGE book so big I did a renewal of my library loan and still didn't finish it.

What I was able to learn about was how his childhood was a major impact on how he approached his personal and professional life. And to see how he was almost 2 separate men, with different outlooks on life for each of these.

It's amazing to learn just how much of what he created is and isn't still around.

The author [and narrator] does a great job of keeping this beast of a book lively and interesting. The story is pretty much linear but there are some overlaps due to the subject and number of others involved in Rockefeller's life.
