I can't stop reading this book! Every chapter just gets better and better. It really hasn't gotten to the plot yet but it doesn't seem to have a slow start like some other books from the past. Right now they're just going through a backdrop of how Eduardo and Mark Zuckerberg met, which is a much needed backdrop to the story. Well, on to the story.
Chapter two opens up with Eduardo and Mark Zuckerberg at a party, this is when the first meet. There first meeting is awkward, mostly because of Mark. Mark was in a corner by himself and Eduardo approached him, Eduardo Jokingly talked to him but he couldn't tell if Mark recieved it well because there was no inflection in his voice. After that party died down, they made plans to go to another party which was a slight jog away. On the way, Eduardo told Mark about him almost being in the Phoenix fraternity, saying that maybe he could put in a good word for Mark if he got in. Eduardo knew it was advised to bring a girl with him to the PHoenix party, and that the beauty of the girl would influence his acceptance. The next day he went up to the prettiest girl in school and invited her to the Phoenix party, even though she was way out of his league, she said yes. Eduardo then realized that it wasn't him she said yes to, it was the Phoenix party. He realized that you could go anywhere if you had the prestige.
I'm so glad I finally have the chance to read this book! I had no idea who Eduardo Saverin was until I started to read this book but apparently he co-founded facebook along with Mark Zuckerberg. Apparently they hate each other now, so I guess only the book will explain. It's kind of sad because right now in the book Eduardo is saying how much he likes his new friend Mark.
