dongeng biasa,
untuk menggarisbawahi popularitas selebritas mark.
buku yg cuma melengkapi agar nama besarnya makin besar. tidak kritis.
terlalu banyak kata untuk deskripsi suasana [misalnya, ketika buku ini mendeskripsikan suasana kantor rektor harvard].
buku kayak gini berlimpah di periplus dan kios2 persinggahan [halte, stasion, bandara]. buku yang dibaca sambil jalan selesai sehingga kelancaran narasi jadi andalan.
panteslah kalau buku ini jadi dasar bagi film "social network" yang juga cuma membesarkan nama yg sudah besar.
cepat sekali saya selesaikan.

I really enjoyed this book. Written like a film, it is easy to see how this work could be turned into a screenplay. Easy to understand, the narrative flows well and gives the reader perspective on how the concept of Facebook was conceived as well as how the company was born.
Apenas en las primeras páginas, muy bien hasta ahora. Con una cronología distinta a la película pero inreiblemente bien narrado.
I found this very interesting, but also have a lot of questions!
I took this book on a trip to see my best friend and could barely tear myself away from it! I found the story really intriguing and thought all the players were well portrayed. Was the story one-sided? Well,l of course, but that is also because Mark Zuckerberg choose not to participate (which the author clearly states in the preface). Was it super fast-paced? N,o but it was still incredibly interesting and definitely worth picking up. I haven't seen the movie but I'm curious to see how it turns out as well.
This story wasn't terrible or even terribly boring but I was left thinking, "Oh okay, so that's how it happened." I was really hoping for more action, or at least suspense. I guess the story of Facebook isn't all that exciting but I wanted to read this before seeing The Social Network.
The tone of this book is salacious, and its really bothering me. After all, the main characters are real people, and they are still young. Should we be leering into their sex lives?
The author's writing style is so irksome that I would not be persisting in reading this, except that I had already decided that I would read both this & The Facebook Effect before seeing the movie.
Also, yo, Harvard! Aren't you a co-ed school? What's with the most prestigious clubs being male only? What's with all the female characters being considered for their hotness only? After all, they're Harvard women! They must be pretty damn brilliant!
I hope the movie is better because, after reading this, I am not sure I want to watch it.

I would like to begin by saying this book makes me dislike Mark Zuckerberg. In general, people with poor social skills make me want to slap them and say, "Try Harder!" But this book makes it seem like Zuckerberg just doesn't care about other people...friends or not. He cares more about writing code.
Don't get me wrong, I like Facebook...but I do question Zuckerberg's ethical integrity. (Stealing ideas and dropping your supposed best friend from the company...really? That's not cool. And there are court proceedings to back up both of those stories...) Granted, it isn't fair to judge based on a book that was written without ever speaking to Zuckerburg, but his refusal to be interviewed says a lot.
I do wonder how this book can be categorized as non-fiction when the author even says he makes things up...didn't James Frey get boiled alive for that?

It was all right. Nothing new in the information provided but still a good quick read.
