I started reading this book expecting it to be boring and full of technicalities but I couldn't be more wrong. This book is a simple overview of the work culture and the whats', whys' and hows' at Google. If you want something that's complex and in-depth, this is not the book for you. The book touches on the surface but it doesn't dive deeper than that. It's getting four, not five stars because of that vagueness. Even me, a person who would've been turned off by a lot of in-depth details, would've preferred something less generic than this. But, I guess I shouldn't expect Eric and Jonathan to hand the reader everything on a silver platter.

If you can tolerate the vagueness and the books sounding a bit like a propaganda piece for Google, I'd say give it a go and see how you like it. After all, it's only about 300 pages and will only take a couple of evenings for you to finish! ;)
