Reviews / Votes

A masterclass in deeply researched investigative financial journalism ... riveting * The Times * Stone has done a remarkable job in a way that Bezos would appreciate - by working very hard. * Financial Times * Engrossing... Stone's long tenure covering both Bezos and Amazon... gives his retelling a sureness that keeps the story moving swiftly * New York Times * The definitive biography of the company that changed the way we shop and read... A masterclass in investigative journalism * Mail on Sunday * Scrupulously researched... If only all business books were as readable as this one * The Times Books of the Year * I highly recommend this book. Amazon is one of the most important companies in the 21st-century economy, and anyone whose business has been or will be touched by Amazon should be sure to read it. Jeff Bezos is one of the most visionary, focused, and tenacious innovators of our era, and like Steve Jobs he transforms and invents industries. Brad Stone captures his passion and brilliance in this well-reported and compelling narrative. The meticulously reported book has plenty of gems for anyone who cares about Amazon, Jeff Bezos, entrepreneurship, leadership just the lunacy it took to build a company in less than two decades that now employs almost 90,000 people and sold $61 billion worth of, well, almost everything last year. * Washington Post * The Everything Store is a revelatory read for everyone - those selling and those sold to - who wants to understand the dynamics of the new digital economy. If you've ever one-clicked a purchase, you must read this book. Stone's tale of the birth, near-death, and impressive revival of an iconic American company is well worth your time. * Slate *
