Just an Amazing Book
| Customer Rating: | | I bought this book and have not put it down or want to. If you want to understand steve jobs this is the book. Also the book covers pixar once owned company of his and disney and also how star wars came together. In all i think this was a great read and recommended to anyone that wants to know about the history of apple, and the history behind the magician of apple. |
Very Readable
| Customer Rating: | I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and once into it found it very hard to put down. Whilst an entertaining read I like other reviewers wonder whether we have been given a caricature of Steve Jobs as opposed to the real man. There are lots of relationships that I wished I knew more about such as his interaction with Woz.
Certainly worth looking at. |
Fascinating Person, Good Book
| Customer Rating: | | Being in my early thirties and working in technology, I've always had an interest in the early computing gang (Jobs, Woz, Gates etc.). Much has already been written about the early years in the Valley and this book recounts those times in great detail, maybe at the expense of more recent events. The last two years of events in the book seem added as an afterthought (I realise that this is an updated version but ..) and the research doesn't seem as thorough or the story as well told. All told, a good book about a fascinating person. |
The story from college dropout to billionaire businessman.
| Customer Rating: | | The book tells a comprehensive story of the history of Steve Jobs business dealings. It says the subject is a driven, selfish sometimes rude person. I still do not feel that I know what Steve Jobs is like everyday as a person. I still do not know why an Apple computer is diferent from a PC. The last 20 percent of the book is about Disney. The book is a story of Steve Jobs amazing business career but not a personal biography of the man. |
Jobs: The Good, the bad and the ugly, plus the great!
| Customer Rating: | | I have to declare I love Mac's, I love Ipods and I love every movie that Pixar have made - that should make me a fan of Steve Jobs. This book tells the story of his life so far, from birth, through education and right up to the present day, it pulls no punches about both his personal flaws and his corporate failures - it is a real page-turner and left me as thrilled as I have been by any fiction by the likes of Clancy or Grisham. If you love Jobs then read the book, if you hate him then read it, if you haven't heard of Jobs, Macs, Ipods or even Pixar, then read the book! It should be compulsory reading for any business studies student and any would-be entraprenour. Why, becuase it shows the reality of what real business is like in the real world - even if this version of reality is larger than life! |
