This book was given to me by a friend who thought I might need a little boost in my outlook on starting a successful company. This book was exactly what I needed, and made me realize a few things that might make me a bit more successful. The first chapter starts out really cheesy (for lack of a better word), but then settles into great advice for anyone who wants to be successful at whatever they do. This book is not just about making money. It's about attaining goals, figuring out your definite chief aim in life, and taking continuous actions toward that goal.

Very entertaining book. I actually read this book in one day, and just couldn't put it down. This is an early Stephenson book, and you can definitely see his style developing which matured in Cryptonomicon.

I think this is by far the finest novel that Dostoevsky wrote. It was long, but I may read it over.
