Idea Man
by Paul Allen
by Paul Allen
I was very disappointed with the book. The greatest achievement Paul had was his initial day with Bill Gates at Microsoft. There is nothing too interesting in these early days except his complaints on Bill's aggressive style. At the end of the MS era he basically has a lot of money and little interesting work left to do. My humble recommendation is to skip this one!

I was going through all the other people's comments and saw that quite a lot gave him 3+ stars. The ones that din't like the book are more from the computing background who were really interested in Paul's early days at Microsoft and the computer business. His later work runing a basketball team, etc are not that interesting. So if you are into computers you won't like this book but if you just want to read about a guy who becomes a billioner and learns how to spend his money on his passions than this might be a readable book.
