Did not finish book. Stopped at 52%.
Can't keep my attention on it. It doesn't translate every single word to English, which would be great to physically read but does not work well in audiobook form. Plus, it does not pass the Bechdel test and the characters seem to look down on most women.

Not the best information on branding. Whereas every single brand has different online marketing needs, the author advises to always use Facebook and Google Plus. This, however, would not be efficient for all businesses. It is, however, very quick, which is nice!
