Summary: Terrific Snippets into B.G's Life
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and recommend it highly. It's great for those who want to get into the mind of Mr. Gates but not too deeply. The way Janet presents the material makes it fun to read. It's something that one could read a few chapters of, put down and chew it over, and then pick up and digest a bit more.

Summary: A simple insight into "The Man"!!!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was hoping, however, that there would have been greater insight into his business and negotiating tactics. I'm sure no different from Andy Grove's of Intel or any other successful entrepreneur.

Summary: It's just a sumary of other books
Review: It's an easy to read story of Gates, but there's nothing new here. In fact, the whole book is made up of quotes from other books and articles. You can't really tell if they are taken out of context or not. There's just not much original stuff here.

Summary: Get to know Bill Gates better
Review: This book provides you with a summary of Bill Gates' history from school life to his corporate success. Janet presents the information in different angles and in delicate details. She told the story from how Gates first started the business, and also his business philosphies as well as his life philosphies. I would recommend this book.

Summary: Bill Gates, Genius?..... yes
Review: This is a great book for anyone interested in business and success. Although it isn't a chronological account of Bill's success, Lowe hits on all high points and gives you a peak of what contribution he has made to the world. Whether you like him or not, you should read this book to get his side of everything. The book is full of quotes from Bill himself, from explaining his business strategies to talking about his family. In a world with almost 6 billion people, Bill Gates has shown that 1 person can still make a difference.

Summary: Nothing "Original" But Still A Good Book for Young Teens
Review: This is one of a series of books that covers highly successful, highly visible individuals and how they got that way. These books are targeted at school age teens to inspire them to follow their paths for success. The author seems to cover the life stories of Bill Gates and adds quotes where appropriate to boost the storyline. There are occasional segments on subjects related to Gates as shown in the Amazon's "Look in" review. It's an easy read with only 230 pages. If you read any of the other books such as "Gates" or "Hard Drive" you'll get the feeling of reading this book before. Since the work isn't original and seems to heavily reference other books I give it 3 stars. The only question I have is whether the author actual sat down with Bill Gates and talked to him or did she really just go to the library, the Internet, etc. to get info on the book. As a first book on Bill Gates life, it's still a good read for young adults looking to be inspired.

Summary: He's an amazing man.
Review: This is the most informative book I have ever read on the Man, Bill Gates. Mr. Bill gets to talk about his childhood, his choices, his successes... It adds a little bit of humanity to him by including quotes from his friends, collegues, and ex-employees. I bought this book just to know a little more about the guy, only to discover he's pretty cool.

Summary: Not what I thought
Review: While this book was well written, I was dissapointed with what I learned about Bill Gates. There was not enough detail and the book was pieced together from a number of different quotes, which is ok for many biographies but the extent of the number of quotes compared to the varied sources did not complete the picture. The books cover claimed 'Insight From The Worlds Greatest Entrepreneur' but I did not feel an insight. Despite the above, if you like Bill Gates and want to learn a little more about him, I recommend this book. There are some fun stories and some things to be learned about the man. It is put together nicely, it makes a high claim but does not completely deliver on this claim.
