Without Their Permission

I read Without Their Permission. The author is a co-founder of Reddit. He grew up close to my house. I did not know him as he is much younger than me. He has a great writer's voice. The first third of the book was about the companies he founded. Great stuff.

Later in the book, the author tries to teach you how to do your own startup. Not too interesting. Then the guy gets on his mission to fight restrictive bills such as SOPA. Even more boring. I wish the guy would have given us more details about the different companies he started or helped to start.

I bet this guy is a blast in person. I think he is relatively rich from the successful companies he started. His stories about his mom reminded me of my own mother. Three out of five stars.
