Startup by Doree Shafrir

2.0

Have you ever read a book before and thought why was this written? As a third grade teacher, I spend a lot of time helping kids understand the purpose of text. After reading this book, however, I find I'm still uncertain what the purpose was. Technically Startup is a bird's eye view into the world of tech, but when you strip away the surface description, you quickly realize that's not really the case. It wasn't a satirical take at all. The tone itself was actually rather uneven. It's not a particularly telling commentary on tech or even on human relationships in general. In fact all of the characters were just unlikeable, period. I had a hard time finishing this one. It just goes to show not every startup is worth investing in.
