Product Description

Review

Perkins's account of the egos and tensions at play in the HP boardroom in early 2006 makes for an entertaining read. He writes with boyish enthusiasm and self-deprecating humour about his love of fast cars; his quest to build the Maltese Falcon, the world's most advanced sailing yacht; his fleeting marriage to Danielle Steele, the romantic novelist; his conviction for manslaughter in France after a disastrous yachting accident; and his own novel-writing project Sex and the Single Zillionaire. --The Financial Times, 3 December 2007<br /><br />A smart, often funny, and wholly engaging account of a fabulous and varied life lived on the frontiers of high tech America. Utterly absorbing from first to last, this is one memoir which is as unique as its author. --Richard North Patterson, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author<br /><br />Tom Perkins is a man of extraordinary passions, among them deals, venture capital, entrepreneurs, ocean racing, vintage cars, and extraordinary women. Valley Boy is a heady mix of picaresque adventure and high finance - more fun than most novels - told in a charming, intimate style as if you were a privileged guest on one of Tom's legendary yachts. --James Stewart, author of the bestselling Den of Thieves
