I'm hoping to get my copy back from my mother-in-law soon. She began reading it when she was down here visiting, and took it home with her, but hadn't finished it when we visited her a few months later. She probably got bogged down in the venture capital stuff. In my opinion, that is the tedious part of the book, and may be the part that provoked one critic to call it "voyeuristic."
