Larry Page and Sergey Brin were Stanford students together who didn’t always get along but challenged the way each other thought.  They decided to work together on their thesis project and came up with a way to organize the world's internet information, and called it Backrub.  Their hard work, focus and dedication eventually turned into Google and over time their company has grown, expanded and furthered their contribution to the organization of the world’s information.  

I found this book fascinating and randomly spouted off facts and stories about Google to anyone who would listen.  It’s amazing how much we take for granted our ability now-a-days to access information quickly and efficiently and all of that can be attributed to Google.  This is a great read that I recommend for anyone.  The only mature content is a picture of Jennifer Lopez in a very revealing dress.
