Comments: The book was pretty good, but not 5/5 awesome. It is too much entertainment and not enough serious-ness for me.  The quotes leading into each chapter are well chosen. The brief high level insider Starbuck stories are nice, but sort of feel like insider jokes and the reader is left outside. But still a well made/fun book to read.I go to Starbucks about twice a week and think the stores are great. Plus  Starbucks coffee is my drink of choice before a half marathons.
