2 out of 5 stars A disappointing book from an author I generally enjoy reading.   September 21, 2008
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I've found his writing in the past to be interesting and thought provoking: I don't necessarily agree with all of what he says but it's always worth reading. I was well aware that, in common with all his previous books, this would be a dead-tree version of Joel's blog and various articles he's published on his web site

However what I didn't expect was that
- 40% would be a re-print of his immediately previous book, "Smart and gets things done",
- 20% self advertising or advertising for his company (the fact he's setup and runs a successful boutique web business adds to his credibility but outright repeated advertising in a paid-for book isn't acceptable).
- 20% newbies economic theory (hey Joel if I wanted an lesson in economics I don't think I'd buy one from you).

And only 10% is actually new and pertinent content.

A huge disappointment.
