Writer: Carly Fiorina
Genre: Autobiography
When an Ex-CEO has to say something it is but natural for people to sit down and listen. And thats what you do with this book. As Carly traverses thru' AT&T, Lucent and HP, she takes us along a ride into the the corporate culture. How she overcomes the gender bias, the prejudices associated with being a woman at the top post, the book is a good read.
I dont know, but I expected more form the book. She seems to have concentrated more on her business strategies than on her (which I would have preferred). I mean I was seriously impressed when she became the HP CEO and hence the inquisitiveness to know more about this lady remains :) I had read every written article when she was sacked, read all the untowards comments directed at her and I thought she has carried herself well....I guess she must have learnt it already, being a woman at a top post but, she was good.
Again as usual, I did not form an opinion about anything because its the author's point of view. If you want some inspiring stuff, this one is for you but dont take it up if you arent fond of autobiographies.

Finally, you read it :).
I haven't read the book, nor much about Carly Fiorina. But my first impressions on browsing through the book for a couple of hours were that there seemed to be little content in the book, other than trying to set her record straight. As you rightly say, there is little about her in the book - probably more about what she thought others thought of her.
