    Great read
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on 28 November 2000*

Michael Wolff is a professional business writer - a journalist in fact.  This fact is important for two reasons:1 - He writes clearly and well.2 - While living in the Internet Gold Rush, he took notes on the details of conversations, instead of the meaning (or so he tells us).So, this book is another interesting view in the ways and means of money.  Smart money, dumb money, no money for tomorrow's payroll and all that.It's not written to give glamorous insight into how the author is a brilliant visionary, sharing his ideas with you, or anything that you'd find in a typical business book.  It's a detailed narrative about life in the trenches.  It certainly seems true enough to me.For that reason, it's worth reading, since most books push an agenda of their own, and this book doesn't really seem to have an agenda or something to prove.  From the internal evidence, the author has tried to write a fun, compelling story that might sell, in order to make some money.He succeeded.  At least, the writing of a story worth reading.  I have no idea about the money.

    The book is the message. Wolff is a hyper. Do not buy it.

Revenge of the  Words. After reading all of the hype, buzz, and reviews  about this book I had to buy it. After all, I have been in Wolff's seat dealing with VCs, preferred stock, and critical market timing. Sadly, I found that the book is a long gossipy account of the early days of the web but very short on humor or advice for the entrepreneur. I normally grade business books by corner foldovers (to locate good advice or a pithy quote) and lol's (laughing out loud - or lots of laughs). This hyped book got 0 foldovers and only 2 lol's. A good business book like "Dilbert Zone" or "Liar's Poker" or "Die Broke" will get a dozen of each.  When I finally finished this hyped  ho-hum story,  I realized that  I had been had. But that was the point! Wolff is a writer and now he has now  learned how to promote. So what better path to revenge  than to hype and ripoff with his mighty pen. Hence the slapdash gossip tome (with several annoying typos) to!  prove that he is now a master of timing and positioning.

    How to survive having a few megabucks thrown to you
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on 17 August 2003*

Next up: How Donald Trump survived his Daddy's money, How Nelson Rockefeller survived the shadow of his family's name, how George Bush survived his years of failing oil companies.The book is reasonably refreshing in its self-assesment of knowing virtually nothing about how the internet would affect publishing and how anybody would make any money off it.  Its candor is also refreshing in describing how they had so little to offer but were so willing to sell it at a high price to the even more gullible ("they want how many million for the contents of my palm pilot?")If the author were a disinterested party reporting the actions of others, one would have to rate this book 4/5 for good writing, clarity and candor.  As a player who took huge sums of money from investors, suspecting the business was a house of cards, one can only wonder if he shouldn't be in jail.  As a book, I have little choice but to recommend it.  The description of AOL alone is worth the purchase price.
