It is amazing how passionate this guy can be about a universal remote control.
Entertaining, but in-all, the book reads as a manifesto written for those who already agree.
Entertaining rather than enriching, with strong emphasis on the ways in which Kara lets other people know that she is right
John Doerr – Measure what matters
If you look past the author’s boundless Andy Grove adoration, there are some useful lessons to be learnt.
The book proves that those A16Z folks are very good at marketing sauce on not-so-ground-breaking ideas (as described by Sebastian Mallaby)
Sebastian Mallaby – The Power Law
Nice as a description of the historical evolution of the VC phenomenon, but rather condoning in its evaluation.

Entertaining and polemic book, although many of the author’s points hardly need to be argued.
Lee Vinsel, Andrew Russel – The innovation delusion
Funny enough, the polemic narrative applies all the trick of typical innovation literature to promote a maintenance mindset.
Most illustrative are the descriptions of failed competitors, which show importance of both luck and ruthlessness.
