Do you think Jim was embarrassed when Fanny May caused the global financial collapse in 2008? Or when Wells Fargo manages a near 20 year, seamless streak of SEC violations and consumer lawsuits? Or when Walgreens defrauded Medicaid, commited drug fraud, became one of the largest contributors to the opioid epidemic, and discriminated against African Americans? Do you think Jim has any regrets, picking some of the scummiest, fraudulent, disastrous companies of the 21st century, for his short-list of "great" companies? I hope so.

I know enough about Sociology, Anthropology, and Biochemistry, to confidently say I don't know enough to write a book about them. I can now confidently say I know more than Simon Sinek does about those topics. An incredibly frustrating read for anyone who has even a passing interest in any topic which Simon pulls on to justify his list of half-messures and excuses for the status quo. If anything, the popularity of such hollow drivel speaks more about the true failures of leadership in modern corporations than this book ever dares.

Phenomenal graphics, incredibly fresh take on some iconic moments from the original, fantastic music, voice-acting, and absolutely abysmal final chapter. They completely ruin any anticipation I had for the sequels in the last 2 hours (also, the decision to make it another trilogy has earned someone an honored place in hell). There are small sequences that lead you to anticipate disappointment scattered throughout, but the last 2 hours was so much more disgusting than I could have anticipated. They ruined this, and the two future installments as far as I'm concerned. What a waste of potential. Aside from that, great game, you can really see the dedication some people out put into this, and you really feel for them as some moron ruined it for everyone in the end.
