4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, nicely written, with a whodunnit style..., 12 Nov 2001
This review is from: Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure (Paperback)
Good book, I liked it a lot. I have lived a couple of startup by myself, it's not a manual or a cookbook for business. It's a nice novel, telling the adventuros story of a Silicon Valley startup.
And you will read it in a couple of days, since it's written like a thriller, but it's a startup life which is just thrilling, isn't it?

3.0 out of 5 stars To GO or not to EO, 25 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure (Paperback)
I bought the book amidst lot of hype from my friends and relatives who have read this book. I didn't find it so exciting as to place it on the top shelf. This book definitely gives a very close encounter with the 'happenings in a corporation's entire life' in silicon valley. Some useful insights into how the industry works, which include dealings with Apple, IBM, AT&T, Microsoft are captured very well. Slightly boring in parts. And a completely one-sided view of the world, obviously.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, the 1st "Silicon Valley Start-up Book", 7 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure (Paperback)
I read this title about 3 years ago, before the current tidal wave of silicon valley gold mine books. It makes for excellent, emotional reading, particularly when Jerry is describing his tears as he and Mitch Kapors dreams of pen computing on board his private jet!
