Incredible listen

Revisado: 04-26-20

What a story. There are scores of documentaries and videos about this scandal out there and this book just takes the cake.

Probably the only investigate journalists that outed the criminal CEO, this book is a first hand account of how Holmes started fooling Silicon Valley and scores of distinguished individuals.

It’s un-put-down-able and yet scary to see how easily one individual can play with the lives of people and play with millions of dollars of money.

A must listen.

Practical steps to improve productivity

Revisado: 04-19-20

Our world is filled with obvious distractions. We have however made it a part of our lives. In this book the author brings out all these distractions and how they are affecting our productivity. While making the obvious more explicit the author lays out simple steps and practical tips that could help us minimise these distractions and help us do deep work.

I think this is a very practical book highly recommend it to all Who feel they don’t have enough time in their hands or realise the fact that there are lot of distractions in their day to day activities.

Great stories and thought provoking

If you are into video games or have had a history of, then this book is definitely not to be missed.

This talks about the lives of game developers how non-glamorous their lives are and all the ups and downs. How game development plays off studios and publishers and sponsors and how money comes in through new avenues.

This is worth the hear.

Not worth the time

Revisado: 11-23-19

This isn’t a great book, at least it isn’t in an audio book format. Too many things happening and non cohesive story line. Very weird plot and not captivating at all.

Give it a pass, it’s absolutely not worth the 10hrs given to it.

Interesting but short

Revisado: 11-22-19

The story starts off with a lot of suspense and fast action, however it ends quite soon and on a more sober note. Could have had more twists and suspense.

Horrendous story

Revisado: 07-29-19

Unfortunately I didn’t feel like going through the entire book, so my review is very subjective. I didn’t like the idea of this story at all. It’s horrendous. Why would anyone feel like writing about this and why would anyone listen to this, I don’t comprehend.

I’ve read books on similar subjects and they don’t glorify the criminal as much as this book and is written with the intent of capturing the predator. Here it describes the events in way too much detail and seems to want to stoke your imagination about the cruel deeds.

It’s a very difficult listen, and I’d rather not listen to it.

Amazing story and performance

Revisado: 01-04-19

A must hear audiobook.
The story is so powerful and very well narrated. It pains to hear how the victims of this perpetrator have been traumatised and my hair literally stood on its end when the killer was finally being discovered.

Great story and strength to the victims and survivors.

Good sub-stories but not cohesive

Revisado: 12-11-18

The book starts off well and starts showing how the current leadership is doing things and how it is undermining all the previous doings of past leaderships. The listener gets a sense of things are heading for the worse and a sense of doom.

However after the first couple of chapters the stories are more about how someones capabilities was undermined and how they were mistreated by the current leadership. It doesn't really tie it in to the democracy or how those actions are 'undoing democracy' and only just gives a feeling that a wrong was done.

In all it leaves more questions and concerns than answers and you feel very incomplete after listening to this.

Frustratingly boring

Revisado: 04-12-18

Went through half of the book and couldn't tolerate it more. the contents of the book seems mostly conjecture and is not very usable.

interpretation of behaviour of mine and algae and trying to relate to human clock cycles - I don't get the point.

the book seems very academic and might well be taken that way if it can be ascertained that the facts are indeed factual and not conjecture
