The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich

3/5

This is the story of the creation of Facebook. I thought the story did a great job separating each character's view of the situation. He would write things like "[this character] believed [this event] happened because of [this reason]." It was wonderfully written and it had decent twists and turns for a real event. It was obvious in the story that the author did not interview Mark Zuckerberg because the character came off as extremely aloof and mysterious. He also came off as a jerk. I don't know if that's how he really is but that is certainly how the book portrayed him. I took off points because the book was hard to get into in the beginning and it ended very abruptly. It was still a decent story though.
