This is a fascinating story of how two brilliant, brash, and quirky graduate students co-found an internet company that revolutionized the world-wide dissemination of information, turning the name of that company into a commonly-used verb among computer users.

You must read this book if you are at all interested in business or technology companies. Even if you're not, you may find yourself unwittingly drawn in by the compelling behind-the-scenes look at the characters and culture of a company whose unofficial motto is "don't be evil."

Levy deserves kudos for a well-written, detailed, and comprehensive book that both enlightens and entertains the reader.

Informative, well written. Worth a read if you would like to learn more about Google or planning on joining the company.
