I had read this book quite a while back but never came around to blog about . Finally i decided to write a few lines.
While you would find extensive review about this book all over the web and most of them saying such an astonishing book this is.
Well it is a smooth read i wont say unputdownable but definitely not very dragging. But yes it is not for people who dont like technology or for people who dont understand teh very reason why people would give up everything to be an enterpreuner.
It does not have good amount of technical stuff or jargon but yes the book story etc revolves around search it helps if you know a little bit about search. I guess a non search person would really not appreciate the big deal about a page ranking algorithm.
This book is a must read by anyone who is starting something on his own, it has that motivational element , teh zeal to succeed against all odds.
I guess if these sililcon valley founders were MBAs they would probably have never made it so big, You try to build a company against all odds when all your financial projections, business models etc says better close shop there is this something within them that urges them to go on and it through this sheer persistence that stars are born

I think it's a good book but the in the end becomes too rhetoric and little substance. Recommended reading but things like 25mn dollars without a revenue stream is hard to believe. May be you can have an extra ordinary idea to bargain that. For most practical enterpreneurs, I think a solid revenue stream is a must.
I am reading this currently..will post my comments after a week.
