Fake it til you make it, I guess. This book was very informative and shed numerous light to the fraud in Silicon Valley concerning Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. I was knowledgeable of the case prior to reading, which helped follow the storyline. However, to someone who is not up to date on the case, it would have probably been harder to follow. The same event was brought up three different times from three different perspectives. Though this was crucial to the overall story, it was confusing to follow at times. There's a bunch of names introduced all at once and it could get overwhelming to follow since the same part of the story is repeated numerous times. 
I advise anyone who wants to dive into this to familiarize yourself with the company and case prior, as this dives into specifics right off the bat. Once you have an understanding of "who" its easier to read the "what happened."
