The beginning of the book was a bit slow for me, as I didn't really know who she was and didn’t care much about her childhood accident. But once I got past that, the book really took off. It definitely changed the way I view Facebook. While I’ve always suspected that Facebook was doing shady things with the data it collects, suspecting it and actually reading about the specifics are two very different experiences.
A common criticism of the author is that she portrays herself as a good person who didn’t do anything wrong. But since this is her memoir, that seems understandable. If I were writing my own memoir, I wouldn’t cast myself in a negative light either, nor would I view myself as a villain.
Overall, it’s a great read and an eye-opener about one of the largest tech companies in the world.
