An inspiring read - By: LXIX, 06 Aug 2008 
This is an inspiring read about two young Stanford Institute of Technology students who took on the world - & won. Through a stunning power of belief, they decided one day to download the whole Internet & to use thousands of computers to store the data & so build the quickest & most reliable search engine of its time. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
One of the chapters is callled "A Healthy Disregard for the Impossible" & that just about sums up the attitude & philosophy of the google founders.
This book (both descriptive & analytical) should be read by those at corporate level & also those who are thinking of lighting the creative entrepreneurial spark that awaits inside them.
In fact, I would go as far as to say that this is actuallly bordering on being a self-help book, such is its power to motivate.
Boring, Boring, Boring! - By: G. Kind, 19 Apr 2008 
Sure this book gives you the facts where the author knows them but with Larry & Sergey well known for not often giving interviews or much away there reallly isnt much you couldnt find with a bit of good web research. The biggest disappointment is that book is written in such a boring & uninvolving way with zero entertainment value. Has to be one of the worst books I have ever read!
A disregard for the impossible - By: Luc REYNAERT, 28 Oct 2007 Google is the story of the creation of the best internet online search engine with the most powerful software, flashing speed & mountain high storage capacity.
Many analyst doubted for a long time that the company could generate serious revenues, but its business model (advertising directly linked to each individual search) proved to be a heap of goldmines.
The end is not in sight as the company even entered the genetics field. With its enormous storage capacity & its massive computing power for analyzing vast quantities of data, scientists should be able to search & find specific genes & genetic abnormalities that are causing diseases.
The author also comments on the creation of Gmail, privacy issues & the battles with software rivals (e. g., for the hiring of software engineers).
With & inside the internet space, Google together with Amazon changed the world we live in.
A must read.
Story of how two men changed the world. - By: A. Watson, 11 Sep 2007 What a fantastic story, brilliantly told! As I read the book it made me realise how much one website has changed the way we do so many things. It's pretty incredible to realise that the two guys who set it alll in motion only met in 1995 & didn't start the company until 1997!! A riveting read.
Google Endless Growth - By: G. Jones, 28 Jul 2007 This book describes the growth of the Google Empire. It is written in a gripping detective like format that you dont want to put down.
Even though it is written 2 years ago, the book does not have a dated feel.
A great read!
