Critic reviews

"This is one of the best entrepreneurship books I’ve read.... I wish I had this book when I first started out." (Ryan O'Donnell, Cofounder and CEO, BullEx Digital Safety)

What disappointed you about The Truth About Starting a Business?

I guess I'm not too excited about a book that appears to be common sense. I always dream of starting a business, and was hoping some books would help spark an idea. This book is more like the steps taken to get a business up and going, and not what it takes to start a business. SO most will find this a great book if they already have an idea and the drive, I just don't have that yet.

What was most disappointing about Bruce Barringer’s story?

It was just Dry!

How could the performance have been better?

Not really sure, it just lost my interests in the beginning. I think the book kept playing and I just went dreaming off into other thoughts instead of listening.

What character would you cut from The Truth About Starting a Business?

Not sure, I just didn't pay attention to the book after I started. Sorry I have to give a bad review, but it cost me a credit, and just didn't match what I was looking for.

Any additional comments?

This book could be great for you, I gave it low scores, because it just didn't strike an interests in me at the beginning.
