Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou
informative
tense
medium-paced
4.75
How not to run a business: a case study.
Jokes aside, it's a gripping, well-written book. Carreyrou writes in a lively, engaging way and makes the people he describes come alive on the page. Even though, I already watched the documentary Inventor and the TV show The Dropout and read several articles on Theranos, some events still baffled me (not that the whole story isn't constantly baffling).
The only thing that distracted me every now and then was the higher pitch the narrator Will Damron would use when reading Holmes' lines. You know, it's Elizabeth Holmes doing her Theranos CEO voice, you gotta lower that pitch for the full experience, man.
