I personally felt that the way the author characterized some people (ie physical descriptions) in the book was unnecessary (eg referring to someone being slobby while also referencing weight).

an incredible investigative journalism piece that is narrativized and injected with thematic depth extremely deftly. the revolving door of names in the first half is dizzying, intentionally so, which might put some people off, but made the final section where the names are pared down to only the most important all the more powerful. the biggest takeaway also ends up being so much bigger than theranos: this could be any company due to the mythologizing and excusing natures of tech startups and the venture capitalists that give them power.
