About this listen
Winner of the 2013 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.
Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices.
To achieve that end, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now...
Brad Stone enjoyed unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family members, giving readers the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall account of life at Amazon.
Compared to tech's other elite innovators - Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg - Bezos is a private man. But he stands out for his restless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing.
The Everything Store is the revealing, definitive biography of the company that placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet and forever changed the way we shop and read.

Entertaining
Entertaining. Nice story. Interesting life and commitment to developing Amazon.
Demonstrates what is possible with focus.
Could be more detailed but still worth a listen.

Just too long
This could have been better with a more rigorous edit. Some of the details didn't seem that relevant to the overall story.

Dense, but it was alright
The story was a little distant from Bezos and what kind of person he was in his private life. More about the achievements of Amazon and subsidiary companies. It also overlooked going into depth about Blue Origin, which would have been cool.

Good, worth a listen
I had just finished Shoe Dog - the story of Phill Knight, creator of Nike and The Everything Store just wasn't as interesting a story to me. Still a good book and worth a listen. Glad I did.

A brilliant book; you will never view Amazon the same way again.
While not written as any kind of expose - the book tells the real story about Amazon and how it does business. Ruthless. Single minded. Unapologetic. Brutal capitalism. For both suppliers and staff. Nothing stands in the way of this company. Brilliant read and an insightful story.

Little on AWS strategy or use
Was hoping for more on the strategy and uses of AWS but this is little more than a footnote in the book

Well written
Insights and lots of knowledge gained from this book. Not all favourable for the company reviewed, or its founder, but such a joy to listen to.
