	My Start-Up Life (1) What a (Very) Young CEO Learned on His Journey Through Silicon Valley By Marc Benioff, Ben Casnocha Finished on Sep 11, 2008 This is up for trade. Add... My Shelf Wish List
The book explains the story of how Ben Casnocha founded his first venture when he was 12, how he decided to ditch it two years later and build his second one, Comcate, and how he brought it to being the leading e-government technology firm in the US. The story is so wonderfully explained that it mixes the plot with a whole lot of advice which just makes sense to me, but I wouldn't be able to think on my own. His writing seems honest and, in general, modest. The whole book is an entrepeneurship manifesto. A must-read. ...

	Never Hit a Jellyfish With a Spade How to Survive Life's Smaller Challenges By Guy Browning Finished on Aug 26, 2007 Add... My Shelf Wish List
Not much of a book. There are some funny jokes, but it surely isn't all what I expected from a book which promises to give invaluable advice about how to fulfill every-day's goals. I couldn't find anything of use in it. Is this helpful? ― Posted on Aug 27, 2007 \| Add your feedback
	Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (320) By J.K. Rowling Finished on Jul 26, 2007 Add... My Shelf Wish List
1 of 2 people find this helpful The last book from the Harry Potter's series. I enjoyed it enough, though sometimes the book seemed too slow to me. Looking back to the previous books, the author keeps using the same ideas again and again, but the story continues which "obliges" us to read it until finally -in this book- the saga ends. A fast and easy reading. Perfect for a summer's afternoon. ... (continue) The last book from the Harry Potter's series. I enjoyed it enough, though sometimes the book seemed too slow to me.

	Get a Grip on Genetics (Get a Grip) By Martin Brookes Finished on Apr 23, 2007 Add... My Shelf Wish List
Exceptionally written, I really liked this book. The author introduces us to genetics and even takes some steps further, keeping it really easy to understand. Some interesting topics treated are DNA replication, genetic diseases, transgenics, cloning, ethical genetics and many more. Each topic is divided in subtopics that fit in two pages, which makes it very context-comprehensible and lets us read it in small chunks. Fully Recommended! ...
