This, in my opinion, is a great book.\u00c2\u00a0 The narrative is mostly chronological (as well as logical) and the author introduces new characters well.\u00c2\u00a0 In addition, his sentence structure and language usage is very good.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t think there was a moment while I was reading it that I had to go back and reread or ponder on what I had just read (other than when falling asleep in bed while reading at night).\u00c2\u00a0 This, to me, is the mark of good writing.<\/p>\n

The story itself and the person of Elizabeth Holmes made me angry while reading the book.\u00c2\u00a0 The sheer arrogance of this individual and the real and potential damage and danger she was wreaking made me want to scream.\u00c2\u00a0 One can only hope that she is convicted of her crimes and pays the price for her transgressions.<\/p>\n

I also hope that the individuals she fooled learned something from the experience.\u00c2\u00a0 There seems always that another fraudster will come along to foist something on unsuspecting victims, however.\u00c2\u00a0 \"5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
