So fascinating to read about the inner workings of Uber as someone who works at Facebook - so in the tech world - and remembers all the scandal and craziness from a few years ago

The second half of this book is quite a bit better than the first IMO, and is in fact quite a compelling read! It says a lot about the level of villainy involved that the venture capitalists look like the good guys by the end of it all.

This is a fascinating story poorly told. Isaac is so excited to tell salacious stories that he completely skips over the building of the company. The timeline jumps all over the place which muddles the narrative to an extreme level. It would have been great if this book were written by a journalist instead of by someone with a weird axe to grind (at least it sure feels that way).

4.5 Mike is a fantastic storyteller and that truly shines in this text. The subject matter is compelling enough to make it a quick read.

The book answers to its name. As much as Travis is energetic and ambitious, so is this book. Felt like the final part could be more detailed with what Travis’ and Uber’s fates turned out to be afterwards.

Not very well written in terms of a grasp on grammar, but still a well-reported and good page-turning book on a company that's atrocious to the core

I felt that the author simplified some concepts too much, particularly around corporate governance, VCs, and the final IPO (I wish the IPO section had been longer too). Bad Blood did not dumb down the nitty gritty. Overall, very enjoyable. Stopped myself from googling throughout to just enjoy the book for what it is.
