The Google Guys: Inside the Brilliant Minds of Google Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin

thank you for faster delivery than expected. the 1st 8 pages is very inspiring to readers. ❤️🧡

As an experienced hardware focused engineer I have not followed any of the buzz about google. I have used google for many many years and find the tool useful for doing engineering research and solving technical issues. So reading this book helped me understand much more than I knew about how google is managed and guided.PROEasy to read Easy to UnderstandGood basic information for those wanting to know about googleLike Google 101CONBook did not make me want to work at google (at least the book seems to indicates a youth focused company that does not seek many experience technical people)OVERALLA good read and I enjoyed it. A good place to start if you are interest in understanding Google

ok

Helped me to see some of the principles of success that has fueled Google. I especially like their emphasis on workers getting outside their own projects to work on other projects of interest, and the emphasis on small interest groups moving things forward.

I liked the attitudes of founders Larry and Sergey until the reference about Google's quest for 'search customization ' extended into user email. Google, in 2019, is the 'cloud'; storing everyone's information and metadata. Google's products, from search to email to maps to Android are delightful.This is a good story. I recommend it to the tech community.

starts promisingly, with its breezy narration of Larry and Sergey's early years, how they came together while in university and how they managed to get two top venture capitalists to back them on their terms to start the mother of all internet companies

Brandt does a very good job of reviewing the past and present, and the good and bad procedures and processes that Google has been and is using to maintain the excitement of a startup and to recruit and keep the "brightest and best" of employees. An excellent book with an insiders view of a very successful company.

It is interesting to read how Sergey and Larry run google and still get involved with subjects outside of their primary business. You can easily see that these two guys are brilliant. The one negative I had with the book was that it did not go very far into the personal lives of the founders.
