Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson
Just started reading Steve Jobs' biography by Walter Isaacson, It's very interesting so far. I grew up during all these years of Atari and early Apple products, so it'll be interesting to learn the detailed story behind the man and his company. Has anyone else checked this out?

I loved this book. It was funny how I kept going back and forth between thinking "wow, what a huge jerk" and "wow, what an amazing person". I should read it again soon...

I found this to be a fascinating book. Incredible to see how innovation at Apple has dropped off since he passed away.

I don't read much but I enjoyed this book. I find it fascinating to learn what steps and decisions people made to reach their success. I also admire people that do it their way and don't listen to others! I was disappointed that the movie JOBS was only about 1/3 of the book. Enjoy...

I read it when it was first published. I too found it fascinating. It's hard to beleive he has been gone so long. Time is flying.

For a professional writer I found it to be ..... unprofessional. Repeating many stories from chapter to chapter. I felt it could have been written much better. What I found intetresting was the connection between SJ and his biological father.

So far I've enjoyed reading abou the technological steps that they were taking along the way.......Since I'm 40, I grew up in the Atari/Apple/Commodore era and it's fun to read abou the evolution of some of the things that I lusted after when I was 10 years old. I remember a friend of mine's family had an Apple II, it's just amazing to see the evolution of these products, especially during the 80's and 90's.
