INSIDE LARRY'S AND SERGEY'S BRAIN

If you use Google daily for your searches, don't you wonder how it works and why it's so successful? Through the opinions of the author and many commentators, we learn how the intelligence and compatible business philosophies of Larry Page and Sergey Brin have made them billionaires as the founders of Google. Their core belief—"Don't be evil"—has won customer approval and differentiated Google from many other search engines that have been unable to resist the urge to mix information with advertising. The journalistic style of the author and his many quoted sources features short bullet-like statements. Narrator Erik Synnestvetd harmonizes with the barrage method of commentary, sometimes at the sacrifice of listeners knowing who said what. His brisk pace, clear enunciation, and mastery of the vocabulary make him an excellent choice for revealing Google's secrets. J.A.H. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2009]
