A good gauge of whether I like a book or not is whether I finish it, and this book passed that test. Overall I liked it and am happy I invested the time to read it. It provides some food for thought.
The book needs another round of editing and is a little rough around the edges with various typos and grammatical errors. I got over it, but it's still a little annoying...especially from an author that claims to be a copywriter.
The book suggests a college degree is unnecessary in today's world for entrepreneship, which I agree. That said, he's coming from a liberal degree perspective. For technical start-ups, it is beneficial to have a technical background and the mental structure taught in engineering programs. Also, the university can be a good networking hub and provide catalysts beyond mere knowledge that foster collaboration and gaining the resources necessary to get anything started. There is another side to this coin and overall argument.
