Bit of a slog to get through, but interesting nonetheless. It was interesting to read about the early experiences and how the founders came up with the ideas that lead to HD.

The good: The story of HD is interesting and inspiring. In particular, the inverted pyramid management method is worth a listen.
The bad: Very self-congratulatory tone--lots of shaming people about how rich they would be if they had invested. Also the audiobook would've benefitted from being read by two voices, since the text is written in first person by two people.

Funny, I asked for this book for Christmas when it came out around 2001..got a DIY Home Depot book instead. Oh well. Didn't really miss anything with this book. I enjoyed the Walmart story more. The grit, the values came through. This one felt more like a big corporate push from the start. Amazing that they IPO'd with only 4 stores. But they knew they were on to something. Just like Walmart, they needed a few lucky breaks. Good, quick book.

Getting through the first parts of the book were difficult. However, I enjoyed learning more about the company I work for.
