"The Everything Store is a revelatory read for everyone--those
selling and those sold to--who wants to understand the dynamics of
the new digital economy. If you've ever one-clicked a purchase, you
must read this book." -- Steven Levy, author of Hackers and In the
Plex
"A deeply reported and deftly written book.... Like Steven Levy's
"In the Plex: How Google Thinks, Works, and Shapes Our Lives," and
"Gates: How Microsoft's Mogul Reinvented an Industry -- and Made
Himself the Richest Man in America" by Stephen Manes and Paul
Andrews, it is the definitive account of how a tech icon came to
life." -- Seattle Times
"A tome that paints a fascinating picture of a remarkable tech
entrepreneur." -- The Economist
"An engaging and fascinating read.... An excellent chronicle of
Amazon's rise.... A gift for entrepreneurs and business builders of
the new generation." -- Business Insider
"An immersive play-by-play of the company's ascent.... It's hard to
imagine a better retelling of the Amazon origin story." -- The New
Republic
"As fine a profile of a secretive, fast-growing company as you are
likely to encounter." -- Michael Moritz, Chairman, Sequoia Capital,
LinkedIn.com
"Brad Stone has done a remarkable job in The Everything Store, in a
way that Bezos would appreciate...." -- The Financial Times
"Engrossing.... Stone's long tenure covering both Bezos and Amazon
gives his retelling a sureness that keeps the story moving
swiftly." -- New York Times Book Review
"Fair-minded, virtually up-to-the-minute history of the retail and
technology behemoth and the prodigious brain behind it.... Stone's
inside knowledge of a company ordinarily stingy with information is
evident throughout the book.... Stone presents a nuanced portrait
of the entrepreneur, especially as he sketches in Bezos' unusual
family history and a surprising turn it took during the writing of
the book. His reporting on the Kindle's disruption of traditional
publishing makes for riveting reading. A must-add to any business
bookshelf." -- Kirkus
"Illuminating." -- Salon
"Jeff Bezos is one of the most visionary, focused, and tenacious
innovators of our era, and like Steve Jobs he transforms and
invents industries. Brad Stone captures his passion and brilliance
in this well-reported and compelling narrative." -- Walter
Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs

well-informed reporting.... A dynamic portrait of the driven and
demanding Mr. Bezos." -- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

serious glimpse at an industry behemoth." -- San Francisco
Chronicle

nuanced, and balanced take that pulls absolutely no punches." --

Review, "Editor's Choice"
"Stone's book, at last, gives us a Bezos biography that can fit
proudly on a shelf next to the best chronicles of America's other
landmark capitalists." -- Forbes
"Stone's shoe-leather reporting is what makes the book stand out."
-- GeekWire
"Stone's tale of the birth, near-death, and impressive revival of
an iconic American company is well worth your time." -- Matthew
Yglesias, Slate
"The meticulously reported book has plenty of gems for anyone who
cares about Amazon, Jeff Bezos, entrepreneurship, leadership just
the lunacy it took to build a company in less than two decades that
now employs almost 90,000 people and sold $61 billion worth of,
well, almost everything last year." -- Washington Post
