Bad blood elizabeth holmes book review6/21/2023 ![]() Most of Bad Blood is re-hashings of the same problems or off shoots of those problems from multiple source’s perspectives, which is necessary in his line of work, but not in a book. ![]() It feels like Silicon Valley’s attempt at All The President’s Men but falls short of that high mark because of the lack of intensity and pace. John Carreyrou writes a solid book of investigative journalism. The only difference… these assholes are real. Yet for most of the book that did not happen, it was just lie after mistake after lie after mistake until I realized that I have not been this mad at a villain in a book since Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter– may she rot in fiction hell. The entire time I wanted them to get their comeuppance. ![]() And I just read an entire book, Bad Blood, that rubbed my nose in all of their willful, unacknowledged, dangerous mistakes. They are self-centered, ignorant, reckless, naïve, arrogant, over-emotional, self-deluded, shameless bullies who are supremely bad at their jobs. I don’t like Elizabeth Holmes and that annoying piss-ant “Sunny” Balwani. This post is a representation of an opinion that was developed solely on my reading of Bad Blood by John Carreyrou ![]()
