Definitely one of the better books of its genre. Plenty of useful insights on processes and operational principles that have helped Amazon succeed.

Couldn't get past the relentless focus on data and the bending of humans to an obsessive and unnatural optimization mindset. But you do you :)

Excellent introduction to how Amazon works: how they hire, make decisions, and much more. Good case studies for the development of Kindle, Prime, and a brief introduction to the beginnings of AWS.
