Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Outward condition good, but there was writing in the book.
I would have preferred to be told behorehand that there was writing in the book itself. But other than, I was pleased with the speed of delivery and the book.
Rating: - The evidence behind the claim

Rating:  - Sorely disappointing
I heard a lot of buzz about Wikinomics when it was published a few years ago, but when I finally picked it up a few weeks ago I was sorely disappointed. I'm very surprised that it gets such a high overall rating on Amazon.
First and foremost the book is extremely repetitive. I feel that instead of 300 odd pages it could have easily been under 100 while becoming significantly more readable. Granted, some sections are very well written, but I found most sections of the book difficult to ... Read More
