Boo Hoo
My tube-book at the moment is Boo Hoo, the story of the collapse of Boo.com.
Not really knowing what to expect when I started it, and now 3/4 of the way through, I can't help feeling I'm reading a badly-written tragi-comedy. I have no sympathy for the main duo at all. They come across as a pair of spoilt kids, used to getting their own way. Not only this, but every paragraph seems to have at least one shameless name-drop in it. For example, when talking about their newly purchased £1 Million Sun 'StarFire' server, they just can't help but mention that:
... its [Sun's] president, Ed Zander, sporting a massive Rolex, dropped by our offfices to pay his respects
And? This is the tone of the whole book so far. I can't help but smile as I read it knowing how it all ends. Still, it's worth reading as it is strangely fascinating.
