This book was a great representation of what I experienced at Startup Weekend when I won the gaming vertical in Mega Startup Weekend.  There is only one thing they don’t really talk about, and that is how the people you meet and get along with in 54 hours may not be people you get along with in longer term settings.  In my case it was a little bit of that combined with the person I started the weekend with not putting me as a founder, but as the first employee.  It was a little disheartening; especially since he didn’t officially tell me that until nearly a month and a half later.  I did learn a ton in the experience, both worldly knowledge and technical skills.  I might even go to another startup weekend event.
