    Fools Rush In : Steve Case, Jerry Levin, and the Unmaking of AOL Time Warner

    • Do you want to know why AOL Time Warner died then buy this book.
    • The book starts a bit slow and I tend to think there is too much back story about that about a bunch of bit players.
    • The book is much weaker than Alec Klein's "Stealing Time" (a smarter choice if you want to understand the basics about AOL Time Warner)
    • The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron will find Munk's book comparable in terms of entertainment value (especially humor) as well as quality of thinking and writing
    • I really liked this book.
    • A repetition of these obvious facts is not what makes this book a good read
    • Very valuable book.
    • The book also simply reads well, it's a skilfully constructed narrative, it's entertaining and surprisingly fun
    • I particularly commend this book to students who are learning about how to make (and more importantly, not to make) acquisitions.
    • From a 'story' standpoint, I enjoyed this book
    • Munk's book reads like a fast paced novel and is easy enough to understand
