Not much juice
I expected to get a lot more from this book and was sadly disappointed. I hoped to read more about Calvin Klein's life and found myself struggling through dry chapters about corporate sales and whatnot. I went into it knowing this was a business book but thought it could've been better. It might be ok for people who read the Wall Street Journal regularly (then again, if that's the case, you probably would know everything in the book anyway). If you're just a fan of fashion and more interested in Klein's clothes and a biography of him, this is not the book for you.

Fascinating!
As a fan of Calvin Klein's clothing and fragrances, I was thrilled to finally see a biography on him. Although his name is everywhere and on everything, the man himself remained a mystery. Until I read this book. It offers a great behind-the-scenes peek into who he is, where he came from, and how he built such a succesful international business, despite many missteps along the way. A must-read for anyone interested in the man behind the myth.
