The Google Story. Review.

I finished reading "The Google Story". It's about 300 pages. I skipped about 50 pages dealing with issues like how people all over world are googling, how Gmail launch could have been better,..and such boring stuff.
What's that I learnt from book? Larry and Page were very brilliant, had similar backgrounds, stumbled upon idea as part of their Phd work, were in right plce at right time, tried to be as pure as possible (No ads approach for quite a while), made Google a great place to work, recruited best minds all along, their actions coincided with major happenings in Online Space, made lot of money, but still interested more in solving problems than making money, motto is "Do No Evil" (by their yardstick), microsoft started taking serious note of things, involved in genetics and molecular biology research apart from many other things,...
Nothing exceptional if you are a tech news junkie.
Book didn't leave me with any sort of emotion. The whole thing sounds like a chronicle, diary of events.
If you are rich and curious and have enough time , go buy this book. Or else, you'll not lose much.
