This book feels to me like a children's book more than a graphic novel. It was enjoyable but had rather unimpressive drawings and dumbed down writing.

This book is a graphic novel outlining the life of the infamous Steve Jobs. In the 13 chapters, it covers some of the major highlights of his life including his childhood, creative thought processes, and transformation of the Apple computer.

I didn't like the art or the simplified version of his story.

I am fairly positive that Steve Jobs would enjoy this graphic biography about himself. It really highlight how innovative he was in a very accessible format. Look for this book in the stores in July. I reviewed an Advanced Readers copy of the book.

A good overview of Jobs's life and contributions to modern technology. Imagine where we'd be if not for Steve Jobs (I wouldn't be writing this review on my iPhone for one). This book concentrates mostly on Jobs's career and tech innovations. I'd especially keep it in mind for teens trying to figure out their path to career.

A thorough biography of Steve Jobs, told in graphic-novel style, which technically makes it not a biography, because there are made-up passages of dialogue "to communicate a sense of what I imagine was said," notes the author/illustrator. (But sources are given for some direct quotes). Still, for teens who want to learn more about this computer and marketing genius and icon, but who are daunted by a text-only biography, this is a terrific book to hand them. It goes from his adoption as a baby through childhood tinkering in Silicon Valley, to college to founding Apple, explaining his personality quirks, fallout with CEO, quick mention of his daughter out of wedlock and so forth, not skipping over the negatives among the positives but not dwelling on them either. The black and white cartoony drawings are very tiny, detailed and whimsical--same style as the author's bio of Julia Child, [b:Bon Appetit|19311279|ＢＯＮ ＡＰＰＥＴＩＴ Bon Appetit |Akane Abe|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386599739s/19311279.jpg|27361316]--which is not my favorite drawing style, but is still fun to read once you get the hang of it. Hand-lettered text twirls around pictures, and there are nice 2-page spreads at the decade marks of his life, showing new technology that came into use in that time (for example, in the 1960s, rabbit ears attenna, black and white tv, no remote controls, film cameras, rotary phones with cords) that today's teens will find amusing and perhaps mindboggling. Bibliography included.
