Jim's Review
Jim doesn't wear shoes (no feet, remember?), but this memoir is absolutely gripping. Phil Knight's journey from selling Japanese sneakers out of his trunk to building NIKE is the kind of underdog story this worm lives for. Raw, honest, and beautifully written for a business memoir. The early days with his "Buttface" team are pure gold. Five worms — this one's a masterpiece of entrepreneurial storytelling.
