    "Make Sure You Listen at 2X Speed"
    Would you listen to The Lean Startup again? Why?

    Every time I start a new business, or plan a new product, I'm going to have a 'Lean Startup Guided Listening Day' for me and my team. This way, we can keep the lessons of Lean Startup at front of mind when they matter most. Practice makes perfect!


    What other book might you compare The Lean Startup to and why?

    Everyone compares this book to 'Four Steps...', but Mr. Ries has packed a good amount of practical how-to takeaways instead of simply talking theory. It makes it easier to take the ideas and put them into practice.


    What aspect of Eric Ries’s performance would you have changed?

    At normal speed, he talks PAINFULLY slow. If you don't listen at 2X speed, you'll go mad.


    Any additional comments?

    This is a must-listen for any tech entrepreneur.

    "A good read"
    If you could sum up The Lean Startup in three words, what would they be?

    The book in sum: Create a minimum viable product, test often, iterate.


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    The punchline is in the first chapter and the author elaborates throughout the rest of the book.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    My favorite thing about the book was that it gives plenty current real world examples.


    Any additional comments?

    As an entrepreneur I would definitely recommend this book.

    Any additional comments?

    The author has some very good insights into business and how to change in a startup environment however the authors conclusions were inconsistent with his assumptions.

    "Blah, Blah, Blah!"

    It took so long to get to any useful information (wait! was there any useful information in this book?).

    Don't waste your credits on this aweful book!

    "Disappointing"

    This is the most boring audio book I have ever downloaded. Yikes! I thought I was going to fall asleep.
