Negative Positive
Title: This chap knows what he is talking about!
Review: Reading Schwartz was a refreshing change. I came late to this area and have been playing catch up. Unfortunately I started with Blown to Bits and the Killer App type of book and discovered this by accident. I was hestitant since the book is "old" in internet terms. However, I must say that this books contain more down to earth principles that are really useful compared to the other hype out there. Value per page definitely beats the others hollow (e.g., Killer App, Blur, Blown to bits, Enterprise.com). Schwartz is very focussed, and precise in what he has to say. There is very little fluff in this book so it may take some time to read. All of it (at least most of it!) is actionable. His examples are EXCELLENT! I can't wait to get started on his next book - Digital Darwinism. You'll be making a big mistake if you pass over this book just because of its publication date.
Is the review positive or negative?
