'Innumerable gems . . . by one of the company's most astute observers' - Economist

THE UNVARNISHED PICTURE OF AMAZON’S UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH AND ITS BILLIONAIRE FOUNDER, JEFF BEZOS

Almost ten years ago, Bloomberg journalist Brad Stone captured the rise of Amazon in his bestseller The Everything Store. Since then, Amazon has expanded exponentially, disrupting countless industries while its valuation has soared to well over a trillion dollars. We now live in a world run, supplied and controlled by Amazon and its founder.

In Amazon Unbound, Stone presents a vividly drawn portrait of how a retail upstart became one of the most powerful and feared entities in the global economy. With unparalleled access to current and former executives, employees and critics, he shows how seismic changes inside the company led to dramatic innovations, as well as to missteps that turned public sentiment against the company.

Authoritative, timely and revelatory, Amazon Unbound is the definitive account of a man and company we couldn’t imagine modern life without.

I did not like the narrator's voice and pace, it sounds like he has a glass of whisky in his hand sitting next to a fireplace, half asleep, not articulating. Not the kind of guy i want to tell me the story of a Tech company. Apart from that interesting story to listen while working.

Inappropriate narrator

The book picks up from where the everything store left off and goes in-depth into the many challenges and business conquests Amazon experienced over the last decade. Culminating in Jeff Bezos retiring to chairman leaving his trusty lieutenant in charge of Amazon. Almost perfect narration of a perfect story.

The perfect sequel

Too Hard to follow what the narrator is reading, too much eating. His voice is extremely boring.

Narrator is terrible, wasted my money
