What did you like and not like about the books?

Idea Man: A Memoir by the Cofounder of Microsoft
Paul Allen (Author)

Like - stories about Gates

Working Together: Why Great Partnerships Succeed
Michael D. Eisner and Aaron R. Cohen

Like - some of the stories I had not heard
Dislike - wanted more details not the readers digest magazine overview
