Having read the original masterpiece "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole" many years ago, I was wary about how this book would compare. But in true Bill Gates style, the author, "Bill G", has taken Sue Townsend's original formula and adapted it expertly to his own ends. The Secret Diary of Bill Gates contains many hilarious entries, and while probably not a true reflection of the life of the world's most successful nerd, it is certainly an amusing picture of how Bill Gates might spend his days. One minor criticism is that to understand the humor behind some of the entries, requires the reader to already have a fair amount of knowledge about Bill Gates, Microsoft and the computer industry. But, the excellent "Who's Who in Bill's Little World" and easy to read style of the writing, should mean that most readers will laugh at almost every entry. For people like myself who are interested in the PC industry, the book is a "must read", I can't wait for the next edition (or should that be "version 2.0"?). Bravo Bill G!!
