   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) jd7h | Jan 21, 2018 |  I liked the story behind the book, but the book itself wasn't that interesting to get through. I constantly found myself trying to skip sentences in the book, because I wanted to get on with the story, but didn't feel like reading it all, because I didn't feel like it made any difference to the story. The story IS very cool and amazing but the book about it just make it seem so easy, and a little boring. It was an okay read, but I don't think I will be reading it again.

I, too, was interested in this aspect of the story. However, his attempts to make inspirational or motivational comments between chapters often didn't work -- he'd have done better to let readers draw their own inspiration. I hope he's enjoying Saskatchewan! (  ) LynnB | May 3, 2011 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Kyle MacDonald wanted his own house. The problem was he didn't have a job and he didn't have any money. Thinking back to his childhood he remembered the game he loved to play - Bigger and Better. It was a way of trading your old stuff to get bigger and better new stuff. Legend had it, some people managed to trade an old biro for a brand new car! This got Kyle thinking. If that kind of entrepreneurial spirit could turn tiny objects into big ones, then why not try trading up to a house? And then he saw it. One red paperclip, sitting on his desk, holding the pages of his CV together, ready to go out into the world and help him find the job that would eventually get him a house. But that didn't sound nearly as much fun as trading. So he wrote an internet advert hoping to trade one red paperclip and suddenly his inbox filled with responses: the trading had begun. Did he get the house? Well, you're about to find out! One thing's for sure, he did a lot of trades and met a lot of very interesting people. One small paperclip was the beginning of a great big adventure. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
