The Story of Google by Sara Gilbert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A beautiful dwarfed book as cute as the name of the company reveals many inside facts about Google’s humble beginning to its present day’s status of being one of the most admired companies of the world, within a span of ten years. The vision of the founders Sergy Brin and Larry Page coupled with the experience of Eric Schmidt as their CEO, has taken the world by surprise in the search engine category of business with its delightful products like Google, Froogle, Gmail, AdSense, GTalk, Google Play, Google News, Google 101,You Tube etc and many more surprises to come in near future which might catapult the company to astronomical heights and challenge the existence of giants in the industry.

Positives: Many facts about Google, its founders, beautiful photographs of Google’s start-up garage, its offices, and the view of Silicon Valley are worth seeing in this book. The author must be congratulated for her research in writing this short story very effectively, without much crap. One should read this book if you want to know about the true meaning of Google, Googleplex and the 20 percent creativity.

Negatives: The layout of the book is targeted at Young readers specifically.

My rating is 4 out of 5
