Summary: Interesting facts presented in a repetitive way
Rating: 3
This is a nice summary of yet another 10 secrets of Bill Gates’ success. I did find out something new for myself. However, the book itself is awfully repetitive. It seems like the chapters were written in dissonance as you read the same words over again like a constant deja vu which is somewhat annoying. Overall, not a bad book!
Summary: Business the Bill Gates Way
Rating: 3
If you’re looking for an easy to read summary of how Bill Gates went from college drop-out to the $50 billion man, here it is. “Business the Bill Gates Way,” is a quick and sanitary overview of what happens when an irresistible combination of passion, luck, determiation, and brains meet an unbelievable opportunity. Bill Gates as nerd, seer, opportunist, organizational genius, and workaholic all tied-up in a nice, little, pink bow. Des Dearlove appears to written this book after only having read a half dozen other books on Bill Gates and Microsoft. You get the sense he never left his office, much less England, to research the subject. This is a formula book, heavy on format and light substance. Ten 16 page chapters, with a summary of the main points at the end of each. The series is obviously successful, and we can expect more of the same, but it reads more like the Cliff Notes than the real book. In fact, you could just read the summaries, memorize the main points, and move on to your algebra homework.
Summary: A good book for you to know more about this amazing guy
Rating: 4
You will never be a better entrepreneur if you don’t know about Gates. This book will surely give you some insights.
