Summary: Interesting.
Review: I get the impression from this book is that the only the author has written before was his signature. While the story was very interesting it was quite poorly written.

Read High St@kes, No Prisoners by Charles Ferguson instead.

Summary: A fascinating story of an idea turning into a business.
Review: If you want to understand what's involved with starting an internet business from scratch, this book will provide a detailed look at how CDnow became successful, despite humble beginnings. The story of Jason and Matthew Olim's business, from concept to profitable operation, is fascinating, and instructive for entrepreneurs and corporate types alike. With the able guiding hand of Peter Kent (the journalist/author) this book is well-written and easy to read. I'd recommend it highly.
