I really enjoyed watching The Social Network during class. I had never seen it before, but heard that it was an amazing movie and had been nominated for some big awards.  Jessie Eisenberg, the actor who plays Mark Zuckerberg, does a great job portraying Zuckerberg's sarcastic personality.  I also liked Justin Timberlake's character, Sean Parker, even though he turned out to be kind of an asshole in the end.  Although I really liked the movie, I'm not sure if I would have completely understood everything that was going on if I had not already read the first four chapters of The Facebook Effect.  Having read that book prior to watching the movie helped me keep up with what was going on with all the legal and financing issues.  If I hadn't read the movie I would have never understood why Eduardo Saverin was so mupset when he flew into California for the Millionth user party and they asked him to sign more contracts.
As far as the book goes, I love reading it.  Throughout high school I rarely ever read any of the book sassigned because they were all so boring and pointless, in my mind.  This is one of the very few books that I have had to read for school, but enjoy and would probably read it on my own.  I find it so interesting how all of this happened so fast to a college student who was MY AGE at the time.  I also find it extremely intersting because I can sort of relate to it because my brother is a computer wiz & he is starting up his own internet website with one of his buddies.  They are doing pretty well right now & have even been on the news for it.  So everytime I talk to Shane, my brother, about how he's doing I'm always like "omg you remind me of Mark Zuckerberg!"
