This was an interesting look into Gates early life and also provided insight into the beginnings of the US being brought into the computer age.
slow-paced

There's no doubt in my mind that Bill Gates was always smarter than those around him. His intelligence, which led him to drop out of Harvard and co-found Microsoft, is the most interesting thing about him.

Most of the stories found in this memoir left me feeling bored and uninterested. The only story that captured my attention from Gates' childhood was when he brought a cow's lung to school for show-and-tell.

Perhaps those who have more interest in, or have a background in, computer technology or any related field would find this book more interesting.
