Not as good as The Stars My Destination and quite hard to read, but the core story is pretty cool.

This book is OK, but not ground breaking. Summarised in one sentence it's: “Look after your people and they will look after your company.” but Sinek uses a bookload more words to repeat the same thing many times.

He does go into some detail about why the world is in such a state (hint: because if the baby boomers) and explains how we got here, which is interesting.

This book was absolutely amazing. I'm not usually a big fan of fantasy (unless it's sci-fi) but this had me engrossed. I loved the world building, the characters and the story. Truly amazing. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Great book and a fine sequel to John Dies at the end.

I dove straight into this book without reading the “First Published...” etc like I normally do. So, I was a bit confused when he started talking about computer screens you touch with a light pen! This book hasn't aged well in terms of technology, but, if you can get past that and transpose some of the old stuff with new stuff you've seen in holidaywood or newer books, it's a cracking read. [return][return]I did, however, feel that the end was a little bit of a let down. I think it was trying for a War of the Worlds twist at the end, but it just didn't seem worth it.[return][return]Read the book as it's a good crack, but don't be surprised if the end creeps up on you quickly and then goes out with a whimper!
