Un Click: Jeff Bezos Y El Auge De Amazon.com (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Read this on the bus, in Flock Cafe (Ghim Moh branch), and the bus back. Hahaha. Ahhh so inspired (again) by such entreprenurial stories. The front was about a little negative, but it's interesting to hear another story other than the tired Steve Jobs one IMO. And personally I think Amazon is really easy to use- they really ship fast- received my HONY stuff super quickly! Gripe though-Kindle ebooks still not available to SG. Ah well. Also very scary to note how big ideas need big leaders and an enormous amount of faith and confidence in oneself to keep going. Crazy huh?

Mind blowing book. Jeff is true entrepreneur and Richard L. Brandt is proficient Journalist.

Pretty bland writing. You'll get a good overview but it isn't particularly insightful.
—Caro
Amazing story about the founding of Amazon!
