swhuber 's review for:
Steve Jobs
by Walter Isaacson
The first part of this book I loved was Walter Isaacson's writing style. It was easy to read and told a great story without letting the biographical chronology get in the way too much. The book was separated into definite categories depending on themes in the products and in Jobs' personal life.
What I liked best about this book, however, was that it neither vilified nor vindicated Steve Jobs. He gave and objective look that celebrated his genius but did not ignore his seemingly douchy, crazy, dirty hippie tendencies.
Another part of what made this book so accessible was the fact that I felt like I already knew the story before I read it. I knew jobs was ousted from Apple and later reinstated. I knew that he saved Pixar and changed the tech world. I felt like I knew the whole story but there was so much of it that I didn't know.
