Jim's Review
This book reads like a thriller — except it's all terrifyingly real. Who knew a worm's worth of blood could cause this much drama? Carreyrou's investigative journalism is top-notch, peeling back layer after layer of deception at Theranos. The cast of characters is almost too wild to be true: a Steve Jobs wannabe, intimidated employees, and a whole lot of broken machines. It's a one-breathless-sitting kind of book. Essential reading for the startup age.
