Reviews for How to Think Like Bill Gates

[elliots89 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A neat little book on memory techniques and the best way to approach situations in a manner that is similar to Sherlock Holmes. It includes a number of puzzles for you to test your new skills on, some harder than others.

[razinha-1 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Quick, disappointing read. Gimmicky and worn logic puzzles (some requiring a decidedly British familiarity), a handful of Holmes quizzes and a few erroneous problems. For one, the answer implied information not given; for another the problem definition was wrong ("two words" to be found when the solution was two two-word answers)...so, bad editing or just bad writing?

Not recommended

Not a lot of substance
