Even though I ended up studying business and economics, those aren't among my favorite subjects. Despite that fact, this book is more entertaining to read than most books that cover those topics. The authors have a writing style that is descriptive and easy to read without being dull and boring.

I enjoyed reading your review of the book. I agree with the positives that you highlighted about the book. I think it is entertaining in the sense that they highlight companies from long ago that have dissolved or succeeded, as well as companies from today that are continuing to be successful.

I was completely absorbed in the book from start to finish, and I loved every minute of it. If I had more spare time, I would eagerly devour it a second time, relishing the opportunity to revisit its insights and ideas once again.

Normally, book's that cover the innovative, economics and entrepreneurial themes tend to be boring but this one is surprisingly different. I could go on if there were more pages.
