This book produced mixed feelings for me. I enjoyed the concepts Geoffrey West presented, but I really didn't like his writing style. For me it was way too wordy with way too many asides, and it was a lot of work to find the core concepts of the book. Some folks might like the wordiness as it would help them think through the concept. For me, it made it less fun to read. These things said, I loved his core concepts of how animals, human beings, companies, and cities scale.

I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
