About this listen
'Innumerable gems . . . by one of the company's most astute observers' - Economist
THE UNVARNISHED PICTURE OF AMAZON’S UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH AND ITS BILLIONAIRE FOUNDER, JEFF BEZOS
Almost ten years ago, Bloomberg journalist Brad Stone captured the rise of Amazon in his bestseller The Everything Store. Since then, Amazon has expanded exponentially, disrupting countless industries while its valuation has soared to well over a trillion dollars. We now live in a world run, supplied and controlled by Amazon and its founder.
In Amazon Unbound, Stone presents a vividly drawn portrait of how a retail upstart became one of the most powerful and feared entities in the global economy. With unparalleled access to current and former executives, employees and critics, he shows how seismic changes inside the company led to dramatic innovations, as well as to missteps that turned public sentiment against the company.
Authoritative, timely and revelatory, Amazon Unbound is the definitive account of a man and company we couldn’t imagine modern life without.

Very interesting and well worth a listen!
What an interesting book and some great insights into Amazon and Jeff Bezos.
Having really enjoyed Brad Stone's first book (Everything Store) I was worried this would not live up to expectations but I was very impressed.
Highly recommended.

A miander through along long a big river
Amazon unbound becomes risks becoming unhinged at points.
The authors other Amazon based book 'The Everything Store' shed a light into the back corners and told the reader a lot about Amazon this is a biography of Jeff Bezos written by the same guy - some of the same subject matter is touched, some content and themes carried over but it's a different thing. It dips into relationships with law makers, other tech giants the world of celebrity but never really seems to answer any questions.
It is a good book, well researched, slightly differential to Amazon and Bezos.

Very informative, easy listening
A great follow up to the authors previous book “The Everything Store”.
The story of Amazon is truly an incredible one with so many interconnected threads and businesses. Not many people alive today can say that they have not been impacted by Amazon—either as a retail customer or just browsing the Internet.

A good read
For people who want to buy this to read along with the book, I can confirm it’s 100% word for word as written in the book.
It was a good insight to the empire of Amazon and jeff Bezos. I got the feel he is our John D. Rokefeller or Carnegie of our era

Excellent book on Bezos and his many battles
Loved this book. Helps understand the incredible culture of Amazon, the way the business *actually* works, his rivalry with Elon Musk and an unputdownable sequence on his affair and subsequent information war with the National Enquirer.
