Excellent - really illuminating and very dense with information. One of my favorite books of the past year.

Back/forth timeline made it choppy, and the first half is a little slow, but it's a very nice close study of the broken political and regulatory system.

Liked it, but I thought it was a little too breezy - it seemed like an editor cut it down way too far or something. It would've been a stronger book if it had a narrower, more detailed focused on the education work - prior studies, what was tried, what wasn't tried, what did/didn't work, etc.

It seems like the reason the book was written was to serve as an application for the author to get on more boards. Half of it is definitions and the other half is a jumble of completely uncontroversial MBA-speak strategy jargon about how great boards and CEOs are.
