Rare to find a book with characters that leave me before I get tired of them. Incredible read.

Don't be fooled by the title - this is a poorly written autobiography of Stephen Brusatte. Frustrating that he has little ability to share the history he claims to have contributed to so much.

After three massive installments, it really felt like the story resolved the main characters' arcs and was ready to advance the narrative forward aggressively, only to time skip through interesting events and mire the characters through the same personal problems they had just spent two books working through.

If you're a fan of reading long passages about fantasy science and eye rolling chapters on the invention of therapy, you'll love this. Not sure how Sanderson fumbled so hard.

Could probably be enjoyed by middle school readers. Marvel quips and reddit 'le epic science' is 90% of this book.

An interesting look behind the curtain of the business principles that took Amazon to the top. Enjoyable to live in a space where work is genuinely productive and smart, especially if that isn't typically true for your company.

Admittedly, the pacing and enjoyability of the chapters is a bit up-and-down, and the authors are quick to blow past the effects of Jeff's 'genius business impulses' - it genuinely seemed miserable to be an employee there half the time.

There's actionable lessons for any company, and an enjoyable read here for tech workers. Amazon should probably revisit the purity of their earlier years given the tank in quality their site has experienced over the past few years.
