Pretty interesting story following the guys from Benchmark through the dotcom boom. The jacket hypes them as the "guys who backed Ebay, Webvan..."
Webvan. Interesting.

The world of venture capital is pretty opaque to me. This book is the best thing I've found so far about the courtship dance of the deal and the role VCs play in their portfolio companies. But, reading the book 10 years later, there's a lot of bubble-era absurdity too: the parade of vague ideas and barely-formed companies drawing bidding wars and hundred million dollar valuations is pretty unintentionally humorous in hindsight.

If you're interested in the subject of venture capital (or you're curious to hear how eBay got started) this is a GREAT read. The author also does a great job educating the reader on how VC works and what the jargon means. Probably a little dense for anyone who doesn't already have an interest in the topic. Only complaint was the foul language--too many F-words for a Mormon boy like me.

At the time I found this an entertaining read. It was a good introduction to the world of venture capital, and the valley during the first internet boom.
