Overall I really enjoyed the book, although I took really long to finish it, and it can get pretty boring at times. From this book, I definitely learned how a great company operates, the system of venture capital, founder traits, and also insights into the future.

Cringe. Hated the book after i watched the trilogy on screen

Wasn't that thrilling

Was a shocking read fr a 12 yrs old back then

The kind of novel a curious pre-teen would read

A classic must. I love Sherlock Holmes and his everything, especially his witts I-

I think this book is marvelous, exciting with a lot mix of thrills and annoyances throughout the book. The book portrayed its morals really practically and irrelevantly, especially that these books were designed for young adults, they would understand, and relate to the story easier. It exhibits the thought that we need to think more of our actions, and how the smallest thing could affect others very much. The novel shows that suicide, depression, anxiety, and other mental issues are real, and we are able to fix them, and help others just by not criticizing or making the other person feel inferior or mistaken. Though I wished it has more romance, I was really pissed when I read Clay Jensen's tape, and I feel they deserved more endgame. The book is definitely better than the series.

At first, I was taken aback at how thick the book was and turns out it was very long to read with a very advanced choice of words for every paragraph used in the book. What made these innovators stand out and succeed more than other, how did they keep up with the evolution of technologies from the 1900s until now, so although the book was very difficult to understand I was studying a lot of the life of very significant people and get into the history of how they started and their vision of the future during their time. Other than this, I love the writer's style of writing. The way Walter Isaacson managed to complete each narrative with a ridiculous and entertaining backstory is chef's kiss.

Personally, the book is romantic and deep, but from it I also learnt that no matter how great a poetry is, if your feelings does not resembles or isn't similar to the topic it's discussing, it will feel meaningless and empty. As i read this book, I am currently in a healthy relationship with just minor complications once in a while, so I couldn't feel the emotion that was intended by the writer.

The book was structured very easily and did a great job in showing the important morales of the story indirectly for the readers, though this book can come off as boring and cliché for me, it was a bearable short read. Some of the scenes and words can be elaborated to help understand the intricate concept and pertinent subjects of the story.
