Book Description

24 Nov 2011

The Google Guys skips past the general Google story and focuses on what really drives the company's founders. Richard L. Brandt shows the company as the brainchild of two brilliant individuals and looks at Google's business decisions in light of its founders' ambition and beliefs.

Larry is the main strategist, with business acumen and practical drive, while Sergey is the primary technologist and idealist, with brilliant ideas and strong moral positions. But they work closely together, almost like complementary halves of a single brain.

Through interviews with current and former employees, competitors, partners, and senior Google management, plus conversations with the founders themselves, Brandt demystifies the company while clarifying a number of misconceptions.

I was looking for more insight into their genius , but a good read. Great first book on Google guys not definitive last read.
4.0 out of 5 stars A good easy read with a lot of basic information on google 16 Jan 2013
By Harry Dresden P.I. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As an experienced hardware focused engineer I have not followed any of the buzz about google. I have used google for many many years and find the tool useful for doing engineering research and solving technical issues. So reading this book helped me understand much more than I knew about how google is managed and guided.

PRO

Easy to read Easy to Understand
Good basic information for those wanting to know about google
Like Google 101

CON

Book did not make me want to work at google (at least the book seems to indicates a youth focused company that does not seek many experience technical people)

OVERALL

A good read and I enjoyed it. A good place to start if you are interest in understanding Google
