Review title: Too long, clunky dialogue, annoying characters
Product review: I listened to the abridged version on a long car trip, and maybe the abridgements were the problem. I found the parts about Hollywood and the TV business to be funny and well-written, but the Silicon Valley/start-up stuff much less so (I work in a start-up in SF). He sounds like he doesn't know much about this industry, and didn't bother to research it. I never understood certain essential plot elements, and I found the ending to be ambiguous and unsatisfying. I can't believe he is being compared to Tom Wolfe, whose research is meticulous and whose characters are believable. Frankly, I can't believe this book even got published. I don't think it's worth the time.
