DOT.BOMB

The rise and fall of Value America is a fascinating example of the technology era's unbridled enthusiasm. Kuo tells this adventure in the dot.com world in a riveting, energetic voice that adds to the descriptive and narrative style of his writing. Characters are well developed, and dialogue moves the story along quickly. Kuo's insight into the business of e-commerce is enhanced by his optimistic and reflective storytelling technique. This is a great story of behind-the-scenes action in the Internet gold rush that saw so many fortunes made and lost more quickly than you can click. D.L.M.
