Reviews

Extensive to say the least. This is the most detailed account of Steve Jobs' life we will ever get. For starters, Walter Isaacson was in the midst of all the apple and Jobs related drama. Interviewing, observing, dissecting. He has interesting interviews with mostly everyone that is relevant in the Apple and Steve Jobs story including steve Job's lovers, family members, and the most relevant actors in Steve's life such as Bill Gates. Walter Isaacson is not afraid to throw jabs and punches to the memory of Steve, which is oddly more validating that harmful in my eyes. This detailed account let me in the trenches of Apple warefare, from the reign of Scully to Steve's epic overtake a decade later. All the details, all the triumphs and horrible mistakes he constantly made and never grew out of are here. A complete portrait of a man, not a demigod as he is often portrayed. To me, learning about all his failures makes him better and more admirable than a glorified unreachable god like depiction the media and apple fans often project. A must read for those that are crazy enough to believe they can change the world : ) 

An outstanding biography from Isaacson. As expected, from his previous works, the book is well documented, easy to follow and interesting to read. What makes Isaacson's work outstanding from other Jobs' biographies is the number of interviews he has done and the volume of original and first-hand information he has gathered from people who have directed worked or lived with Jobs'. The book follows a rational standpoint and tries to narrate an independent point of view from Jobs' life and work, however, as it is inevitable, it has fallen into personal understanding from the relationship between people that not everyone might agree on. Overall, by far, this book is the best Biography on Steve Jobs' incredible life and impact.

One of the best book

Very Interesting! Definitely a good read!

This particular book by Walter Isaac son is a very good book. It is mainly about the best entrepreneur and the co founder of the Apple Steve Jobs. It had covered a lot of his interviews and also the interviews of people around him. By this book I came to know how deep an entrepreneur thinks and how far he visualizes his dreams.As known by all of us Steve jobs had to leave Apple once and he left because of the decision taken by the board of directors but then it was impossible for Apple to survive without him and then he came back and took it to different height. This shows the importance of an entrepreneur. It also shows how critical an entrepreneur should be in taking decisions and innovations.Steve jobs did not actually loose his passion of being an entrepreneur even after being sent out from Apple. He started an animation company called Pixar.It has produced successful movies like toy story.His ideology and methods of marketing were also very different and creative which helped Apple reach people easily.
Overall this book clearly depicts the critical characteristics of an entrepreneur. 

It's good book

One of the best books to have ever read.

captivating story and fairly balanced portrayal of a famous man

An insanely great life journey with Jobs has finally come to end. It completely made me feel I was there with Jobs all through his life, From making the Apple I to announcing iPad 2 and iCloud, from battles with Microsoft and Google to battles with the cancer and related health problems he had, meeting all his friends and foes, wife and kids. It really was a roller coaster ride. Almost made me cry at times or made me completely feel proud to have an artistic hero to follow all through my life. Can't wait to start reading the book all over again, it's just that good!
