this book has more substance than is typical for the genre, and i was hooked on every page; wish there were more pages and illustrations :-)

One of the icons of Silicon Valley tells his story. It's great for an outsider looking in.

I'm a partner in a private equity firm not unlike the author but a few decades younger. Like the firm founded by the author, we are highly specialized in our approach to a specific investment sector and have been doing this for 2 decades plus. All that as background for this comment: buy and read this book if you're at all interested in the world of venture capital or private equity.
 Tiger head with a snake tail January 24, 2008
`Tiger head with a snake tail' is a Chinese proverb to describe something that has an impressive start but a weak ending. This book is exactly like that.
The first part of this book is very interesting. But the author just went on vacation during the last part. The book should be renamed: `From Valley Boy to Ocean Boy (or Play Boy)'.

This book surprised me. I had seen the author on several TV shows and thought he was self absorbed but i bought the book because i wanted to find out about the roots of "silicon valley". Turns out the autheor is a tremendously interesting writer, obviously, extremely brilliant and I would heartily recommend the book. in addition, i'd like to spend somne time with the auther, he has an amazing mind.
