I bought this book after I came across another book called Hatching Twitter. Thanks to Amazon's own advanced prescriptive analysis!
NYT has said that this is one of the most well written biographies. I tend to agree strongly.
Non fiction can be a hard read but author Brad Stone makes sure he straps us into our seats from the word go and ensures we stay with him from cover to cover.
The book opens with the story of a child prodigy in a school in Houston - ...HOUSTON guys...we've a connection! - and delves straight into the initial career of a young and ever enthusiastic Bezos.
The conception of Amazon is very interesting and Stone gives us tremendous insight into its formative years.
Bezos is no ordinary entrepreneur. Withe grit of Hercules, he has braved Amazon through tumultuous waters, where a lesser mortal would've long conceded.
A captivating narrative of Amazon's growth from strength to strength, Bezos' intuitive investment in futuristic technology and some interesting snippets into his life with a photo spread thrown in for good measure!
It's a story you'll certainly relate to if you are an Amazon user and intrigued by if you aren't still.
One of my best reads in recent times.
