Loved this book from start to finish. Steve Jobs will forever be one my heroes
I thought this was incredibly well written and completely fascinating. It's not a 600 page tribute to Jobs. It's an accurate account of an interesting (and often terrible) man and the technology that he helped shape over the last 30 years.
This book was rushed due to Jobs' death and you can feel it. Way too many technical arcs are abandoned midway. Otherwise a solid piece of work.
Steve Jobs was a visionary who was instrumental in creating products that we never knew we needed until we couldn't live without them. Isaacson's account seems to be an attempt to show the man behind the iRevolution--the good, the bad, and the ugly. Steve Jobs was an imperfect man who made plenty of mistakes. but when he got it right, well, he got it RIGHT.
I'll never forget the day that my husband came home with the first iPod. I was appalled at how much he spent on it because we already had a music player--a perfectly good CD walkman! Anybody remember those?
Just like Steve himself, this book isn't perfect, but it's certainly a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever owned an iPod.

I've been an Apple fan since I purchased my first neon orange clamshell laptop. I found this book fascinating from beginning to end. I expected to skim it but it was so well written and engaging I read every word. Yes he was a SOB. But he was also brilliant. Truly one of a kind. Knowing his full story, from birth to death, helps give me a great perspective on why I've always felt an unnatural affinity towards my Apple products. I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates an Apple product. And you PC lovers out there might learn a thing or two as well. :)
Topic was a jerk but the reading and hearing about it was why I put it at a 3.
A very thorough account of Steve Jobs’s life. I would only recommend to tech or Apple enthusiasts, biography lovers, or those who are curious about the mind behind a superbly fascinating company.
It was an interesting look into the mind of Steve Jobs and Apple. It seemed a little over written to me. It was repetitive in many cases and too much time was spent on Jobs's idiosyncrasies. But it was definitely an interesting read.
