A short yet crisp description on how the biggest search engine and probably a revolution of sorts was established and functions on a daily basis.

This story made me think where Google was and where it is now. It takes lot's of courage and tenacity to make their dreams a reality. At some point, someone said there will be competitors for Google very soon, but now we are in 2021, and still couldn't find a better competitor for Google yet.

A beautiful dwarfed book as cute as the name of the company reveals many inside facts about Google’s humble beginning to its present day’s status of being one of the most admired companies of the world, within a span of ten years. The vision of the founders Sergy Brin and Larry Page coupled with the experience of Eric Schmidt as their CEO, has taken the world by surprise in the search engine category of business with its delightful products like Google, Froogle, Gmail, AdSense, GTalk, Google Play, Google News, Google 101,You Tube etc and many more surprises to come in near future which might catapult the company to astronomical heights and challenge the existence of giants in the industry.

Positives: Many facts about Google, its founders, beautiful photographs of Google’s start-up garage, its offices, and the view of Silicon Valley are worth seeing in this book. The author must be congratulated for her research in writing this short story very effectively, without much crap. One should read this book if you want to know about the true meaning of Google, Googleplex and the 20 percent creativity.

Negatives: The layout of the book is targeted at Young readers specifically.

My rating is 4 out of 5

[Aneesh Bhatnagar · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is a pretty interesting book if you are looking to learn a bit about how Google started, and how it went through different stages of development. It rose from a Dorm-room venture to a huge office in Mountain View, California.

the book that motivated me to become an entrepreneur

[Ayushi · Rating 4 out of 5]

A dwarf book. But inspirational.
This made me crave to join Google somehow.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, are you both listening?
Sigh.

[Sandeep Pathry · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book barely skimmed over the propitious start of the tech giant. Was looking forward to plunge in a little more deep; nonetheless, an interesting short read.
