Not what I expected -- Disappointment, Avril 22 2002
I like the idea that Andy Grove wrote this book for his grandchildren...certainly knowing the story of your grandfathter's childhood experiences, in an uncommon time, will make a lasting impression on any grandchild.The book did not capture my attention into the character insight of Andy Grove that his other books did, which is surprising, given that this is a memoir. I am always very interested in understanding the character development of leaders, especially the circumstances surrounding their education development and the life changing events of their lives. The times in which he lived certainly contained the impactful circumstances, but I do not feel the book related those circumstances to who he is today in any lucid manner. I found the memoir detached from who he is today, which should be a fascinating build up of a biography when read along with his other books. My thoughts throughout the book where that the story flow could have been much more fun to read if he had collaborated with a writer that could have livened the prose up a bit. If you have not read about Andy Grove before, then you will find this book an interesting story. However, if you are looking for a deeper insight into Andy Grove today, you will find a much more enjoyable insight by reading his other books. I was dissappointed with this book, so I would recommend as alternatives that you should read: Only the Paranoid Survive : How to Exploit the Crisis Points That Challenge Every Company and Andrew S. Grove: High Output Management. You will find these books to provide much more meaningful insight into who he is.
