Rating: 5
Summary: Remembrance of Things Past
Comment: Boomtown is a great, fast-moving novel that takes place in New York City during the pre 9-11 dot-com bubble. New York City serves as a glittering backdrop for the very compelling characters, the delusional dot-com schemes ("it was another great week for Biz Dev"), and painfully fragile relationships. The characters are entirely believable, and I felt genuine sadness for many of them. They get swept up in something much larger than themselves, and soon find themselves and their beloved city caught up in a new cycle of "creative destructiveness", seeing relationships end, seeing dreams end, but still holding on. This book struck a deep chord with me, and I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5
Summary: Really good
Comment: This book is simply fantastic. An awesome read. I would recommend it to anyone!

Rating: 5
Summary: A funny read if you've worked at a dotcom
Comment: This is a great book for anyone who's worked in software/dotcoms - the characters will be familiar, and you'll relate to the plots. Williams might as well have been a coworker of mine.
