From Amazon.com
Love him or hate him, no matter how you feel about Bill Gates, you've got to respect him. As the richest man in the world and leader of the most successful company of our day, Gates has achieved a level of success that even the Almighty might be jealous of. In Bill Gates Speaks, Janet Lowe captures much of the Gates legend by weaving together stories and quotes attributed to Gates in speeches, newspapers, and interviews in a short and easy-to-read volume. The book covers everything from Gates's time at Harvard to the construction of his "home" on the shores of Lake Washington near Seattle. The result is a well-rounded look at the man who has helped to shape our present more than any other individual alive today. --Harry C. Edwards

From AudioFile
Never mind the title, the master of Microsoft doesn't utter a word. Someone named Rob Actis does, passing on Gates's words--as compiled by author Janet Lowe through a virtual library of magazine and newspaper articles, essays and the occasional speech and interview. Actis's excitable reading style resembles that of a student giving his first oral report. No matter, Gates is the subject. And Actis should keep you awake long enough to learn all about him in what amounts to an unauthorized, but decidedly tame, biography. Don't forget to wear your pocket protector. D.W.
