Reader Reviews
This book had a pretty impressive title and subtitle. I thought it was an ok reading but a) it was little more than regurgitated article snippets and b) there was a lot of repetition from multiple sources. On one hand maybe this is good in that it was a good synopsis of various industry rags/pundit opinions, but it left me unfilled. I expected a book with more insight and analysis, but it was more of just copies of prior written materials. Not bad, just not nearly what the title/subtitle implied. A better name would have been "A Collection of Readings for CTO's".
