The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses by Eric RiesMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A fairly interesting read, the book made a small number of practical suggestions that seem to have good potential. The overarching structure of the book was coherent and understandable, so that I enjoyed.
On the other hand, it is unnecessarily long and dense. The case-studies are excessive, sometimes contributing to confusion in regards to the central concepts. It is dense and uses jargon. This isn’t difficult to understand jargon, just annoying when you’re trying to read. It will constantly call-back to ideas it has introduced but in convoluted ways, rehashing the same principles over and over.
The core ideas are interesting, as I said. They are somewhat actionable too. Sadly, it’s packaged in a book that is annoying to read. It wasn’t actively difficult to read, but I did not enjoy the process of poring through the pages.
