Yeah, I read it a couple of months ago. I've been meaning to do an article on it, but never got around to it.

It is most definitely a recommended read if you have even a slight interest in Commodore. It details the company's entire history, and doesn't just focus on the C64 and Amiga years. Put it like this, the book is over 600 pages long, and the C64 doesn't enter the picture till after page 200. The Amiga arrives up in the 400s. And those 600 pages are filled with text too, there are hardly any illustrations in the book at all.

It isn't a simple boring list of facts either, but is the story told directly from the mouths of the people who worked there, such as the project leaders and the main engineers. The people who really knew what was going on. Mostly, the book quotes these people directly while telling the story and the author usually only interrupts to provide some more detail on some subjects, or simply comment on what's being said.

I certainly learned a lot I had no idea about from before. Definitely a great read.
