I pre-ordered this book and I'm excited to see how it is.

I tend to be instantly turned off by phrasing such as "American Idol for budding entrepreneurs" but then I think back to everything I've learned about pitching and understand the value of these types of phrases as well as the target audience (which is obviously not people who already know about y comb).

I'm hoping I'll enjoy it in the same way I enjoyed Steve Job's biography: an interesting behind-the-scenes look at events that have been happening in my periphery, where I've heard stories here and there, and am finally able to put all the pieces together.
