In conclusion this book is about Google a company that were founded by two students that weren’t looking for fame or money just wanted users have a quality searcher to satisfy their need.

Best Chapter

Well, I really like the book, most of the chapters are good but if I have to choose, I will say two chapters liked more than the others “Divide and Conquer” and “Aprils Fool”. I am going to talk first of “Divide and Conquer”, at the begging of the chapter Larry Page said something that caught my attention “We started this company because we were unhappy with the current search technology and if we succeed, that just will be a great side effect” . When I read it I was amazed because most of the people think first what they receive for doing something, in this case Larry and Sergey just care to satisfy their need and other users
