Author: John Carreyrou
I thought I knew most of the interesting details of the Theranos disaster. So when I picked this book up, I quickly paged through it to see if it was really worth reading. Boy, was I in for a surprise. Not only is there a lot of dramatic detail, but John Carreyrou has narrated it so beautifully that it is a joy to read. From the first to the last page it held my complete attention and read like a thriller even though I knew exactly how it ended.
John’s meticulous research is evident throughout the book, and he tries to keep a balanced view wherever possible. Every chapter in the book is relevant to the story and he avoids the temptation to fill pages by invoking some side stories that might be interesting. He could afford this luxury, as he has an action packed tale to tell. Once you start reading this book, you will find it hard to put down.
