This quote is one of many that exemplifies Sophia Amoruso's larger-than-life ego.

"MONEY LOOKS BETTER IN THE BANK THAN ON YOUR FEET."

Likes:

The story line was interesting

Easy language, easy to understand

Business aspect that I found relatable

Motivating success story where she did not come from a wealthy background

Not afraid to get personal while remaining somewhat professional

focused more on being an entrepreneur than being a girl

Dislikes:

She writes in a self-righteous perspective

Never accepting the blame of her actions, rather she blamed society

Not very informative how-to information for business owners, more about her personal life

It appears that she made no mistakes in the process of starting a business from scratch (highly unlikely)

Beginning of the book was better than the end
