"Informative and entertaining....Rivlin, an investigative reporter, probably musters as much sympathy for Gates as anyone outside Microsoft ever has, but the portrait he paints is utterly devastating."

Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post

"Mr. Rivlin has performed the not inconsiderable task of taking an already overworked subject and saying something new not only about it but about what it reveals about the rest of us."

Richard Bernstein, The New York Times

"A resourceful reporter, a passionate writer, and a marvelous storyteller."

Clarence Page, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist
