I'M FEELING LUCKY The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59

With a warm, approachable tone and perfect pacing, Edwards narrates his detailed account of his experiences as an early employee of Google, Inc. The work highlights the company’s evolution from a two-person experimental enterprise to an international conglomerate. Edwards seems a natural as he provides a highly listenable audio performance. This former director of consumer marketing and brand management for the Internet search engine giant provides a unique perspective on working day to day with Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Even more impressive, despite the haphazard organization of the book’s time line, the listener walks away with a better understanding of how true organizational creativity and brilliant technical engineering can impact the human condition and world culture. Edwards feels lucky, and so will the listener. W.A.G. 2012 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2011]
