"Interesting theme, good stories"
The main strength is this is an insider's view of of the electronics industry. There are also many other interesting business stories, nicely told. The premise, act like a Ninja to succeed, is novel, but readers will have to judge just when to apply these ideas. Looking back in time one can find success in emulating Ninjas and failure otherwise, but one can cherry pick as needed to suit the theme. Still, I did enjoy this very much. There is a lot of sane analysis in here. Note also that the author is a stong free market proponent. NI made me think much more about what innovation really means, and why it is so very important. So, I just changed my overall to 5 from four!
"Very inspiring and now one of my favorites!"
