“Interesting enough, but I kind of stalled halfway, probably will finish on an airplane sometime - I already knew so much of the story through blogs etc. that it got a little slow towards the middle.”

It definitely shows older people, what youngsters today are, their value systems, priorities, and capabilities.
A little imagination, spiced with a lot of hard work, always went a long way but today that "way," is in Cyber-space and everything grows not just exponentially but like a virus!!

“Very informative about the events surrounding the founding of Facebook. It was written in the form of a fictional novel, and I wouldn't say that it would have been a great fiction novel. Since it was based on a true story, it made it flow better and more interesting.”

Yes | No“It was a fine book, but since Mark Zuckerberg didn't give any interviews for it, the author uses a lot of suggested scenarios such as "we can only imagine what happened next..." and then makes up different scenes. I just don't think it was very well written - difficult to do when the main character won't give his version of events.”
