Thanks for the review Brad. A friend recommended the half-book to me recently and your review was the first recommendation on a Google Book search.

Love the blog, especially the old posts (it’s like having a discussion happen without the problems of time and space).

uck or Smart is a quick and to the point read. Bo doesn’t mess around with info overload, but presents the core of what he believes contribute to the success of start-ups. This is not a self-congratulatory effort or a promotion exercise for Bo’s business interests, which is very refreshing compared to other similar books.

Brad:

Good call on Bo’s book. Surprised that you have never met him in your travels.

What I liked about the book was:

1) It is short and to the point. I was able to read it cover to cover during breakfast and obtain some value. How many books do we read that make three points that could be presented in less than 100 pages, but insist on writing a 250 page book of mostly fluff?

2) The book was honest and humble. A little confused as to why Bo did not make a bigger pitch for Village Ventures though.

Keep up the good work, your postings are being captured by my Onfolio feedreader and are very interesting.

The title of the 3rd chapter – Entrepreneurs are B-Students.� Managers are A-Students. – is the reason the book has been on my wish list for a few weeks now. God bless him.
