Blurb:
Fearless, innovative, driven and daring. These are the qualities of a disruptor: a business that is willing to take risks to achieve incredible success.

My Review

I received a free copy from the publisher through Netgalley and voluntarily reviewed it.

One of my goals for this year was to read more non-fiction and I requested this one from Netgalley as it sounded interesting and different from most non-fiction books I read so far. I had to get used a bit to the writing style as it could be quite dry at times, but also thought it kinda worked here. The author describes 15 successful businesses that disrupted the market and did something different. I liked reading about the different businesses and how they got started and why they were so successful and what they did differently. At times I felt it could go a bit deeper or include more information, but overall I thought this worked well to get a bit of an overview of these companies and what they did.

The chapters are broken up into sections that make it easy to read. The author doesn’t really share her own opinions and tries to stick tot he facts or shares some opinions of others or quotes from people. I thought it was an interesting read and enjoyed reading more about the businesses I already had heard of as well as some I never heard of before. Some chapters I found more interesting than other, but overall it was an interesting read that gave me more information about these businesses..

To summarize: This book gives some information about 15 businesses that shook things up. It goes into details about the secret to their success and how they got started. It was informative and interesting. The writing could be a bit dry at times and mostly sticks to the facts or what other people have thought or said about the businesses. It doesn’t go into as much depth as I would’ve liked at times, but I still found the book interesting and liked learning more about these businesses, some of which I had heard of and others I hadn’t heard of before.
