The Accidental Billionaires

Well that was a quick read. It really didn’t take me too much time to get through the book and it’s not a hard read. The story flows in chronological order as opposed to the movie so it’s much easier to follow. I actually re-watched the movie right after and I found the movie to make much more sense.

Mezrich writing style leaves less to the imagination than a regular biographical/expository work. He really tries to capture the emotions at the time of the incident to really give you a sense of how each person felt at that particular moment. I thought he villanized Eduardo a bit in the novel and in the movie it was more so the Winklevoss twins but I think we’re all waiting on the book that tells Mark Zuckerberg’s side of the story.
It's been a while since any of my Photoshop endeavors. I need to think of something new to tinker with.
I think I’m going to delve into some fantasy books next. Maybe the Mortal Instruments series. But I really want to read Steve Jobs’ biography as well. I have lots of time to read now that Dawn has left for New York and then Charlotte. Sigh, summer loneliness.
What am I going to do without this one? Sigh, it's going to be hard.
