There were parts I was not overly fond of in the book and this is the same problem I had with Elon Musk’s story in that the author tries to guess what Bezo’s mind-set could have been in retrospect.

You do at times wonder when reading this thing why anyone in their right mind would work for a man like Jeff Bezos.
